I started runing Ribbs BBS back in 1990 on the Trs-80 Color Computer running
under Os9 Level 2, then switched to a 386 running Remote Acccess, Gecho and
QWMM. I downloaded the entire fidonet backbone and I was a local hub 200 in
Net-109. Now I am running Wildcat and Mystic BBS. Yes, Himem.sys & Emm386.exe
brings back some old memories. Now I am running the bbs systems under Windows 
7.
