 NA> I can't remember exactly. I keep thinking MajorBBS was at least a few
 NA> hundred  and they upsold you on the "Galaticboard" serial card which was
 NA> another couple hundred bucks.

MajorBBS was pretty fascinating, though. A single DOS program handling that
scale of simultaneous users...super cool.

 NA> To be fair TBBS was absolutely fascinating. You could get your hands on
 NA> a  pirate copy but it was absolutely useless without the printed manual.
 NA> It was "the mother" of all Rube Goldberg
 NA> lets-make-it-freaking-complicated  contraptions. But when you really

I have a TBBS instance set up myself that you can select from my "main" BBS,
which I use to really just expose people to its original games. They are so
unique...moreso than MajorBBS, whereby all their unique doors kind of feel the
same (which is not a bad thing, mind you). There's currently a TBBS effort
underway by some folks to reinvigorate interest in the platform.

 NA> I was a huge fan and wrote some crude textfile-utils for John Souvestre's
 NA> hub system in the 90's. It seemed like him and many TBBS Sysops jumped
 NA> ship  and started their own ISP businesses when the author invented a
 NA> router appliance and began pitching the Internet as the future.

I'd love to see these utils you wrote if you still have them, or if you have
anything TBBS related for that matter!
