In a reply from Buckaroo Banzai on 13:46 about Test msg from new BBS

This is a test mesasge from a new (old) BBS, Split Infinity to test the capability of the DOVENet QWK mailer.

got it here

Split Infinity BBS started back in
the late '80s on an Aple ][e and a 300 baud modem. It grew over the years to a 15 line system running PCBoard on a Novell Network with 15 386 PC nodes all running 33.6K modems. It them morphed into an ISP called Innervision Technologies using the domain anme of Nexusprime.org before we shut everythign down.

ok

I've played over the years with bringin it back to life but nothign really stuck. I've recently been in touch with a bunches of callers from my old stomping grounds via facebook and the desire to resurrect Split Infinity hit me and here we are.

good

I was even able to dig up all of my okld registration codes for the doors I used to run.

good

So, short story long, Split Infinity is back online just no reachable externally yet. Still got to figure out the othernet mailer stuff (Argus, Irex, Radius, FD, BinkD, etc, etc) and see what I can get running.

Lucky for me, I found your system via google and used it to get set up (I'm running RADIUS vs. Argus, will that make a diffrence?) and I'm trying to get my net mail set up so I can send the required msg to my uplink.

Outbound QWK mail appears to be working fine. I remember the first time I
tried to get a DOS based BBS software accessable from the internet and believe me, it was a royal pain unless all the programs used were registered
everything was limited so the software would work 'half assed'

Welcome back!!!!

I remember you from the old Apple // days. In fact, I called your BBS in Washington from Maryland back then. I knew your alias sounded familiar.

I went by the alias "Weatherman" back then - from Maryland.

You had to mention Novell! It took decades to get Snipes out of my head and now it is back. SNIPES!!!! =)

I miss that game! =)

I am honored by a fellow PCBoarder. I never hit 15 lines. I am guessing those
386's were DX's with 1 meg of ram and a 40meg HD running Desqview, or did you run less PC's with mulitple nodes? 4 comm ports per PC without an expansion card. The most I had was 3. Good times back then no doubt.

Actually it was one modem per system. And yes, 386DX 66 systems all with 1 MB of memory and 20MB HD's.

Man those were the days. We used to turn the lights off in the server room and watch the light show.... better than christmas lights!!!

No kidding! So cool! I bet you could sit in there in the dark, start drinking, and loose yourself in the sounds of all the harddrives and blinking lights. We as a race have definitely come a long way technologically speaking,
but man... fun is fun and back then it was! I remember holding my brand new zoom v.32bis modem like a baby kitten when I received it in the mail.

As you said, those were the days. =)

We as a race have definitely come a long way technologically speaki but man... fun is fun and back then it was! I remember holding my brand new zoom v.32bis modem like a baby kitten when I received it in the mail.

I started the BBS on a 286 with a 2400 baud modem. I lived in a studio and turned the walk-in closet into a BBS nook. When I kept the closet door open, I could hear the PC fan, and it lulled me to sleep. The chattering of the hard drive would wake me up when the BBS tossed Fido mail during ZMH, and know I'd have echomail waiting for me when I woke up.

When the BBS got popular, I'd wake up to find people halfway around thr world reading messages on the BBS. Good times.

That is really incredible that we both are back in the BBS world again. It has
been along time... I remember calling your BBS when I was in my teens (using Weatherman as my alias).

I'll drop by your system soon.

Good to hear from you again!

I used to watch all the lights on the BBS system / modems, too. In the really early stages of the BBS (when I was still running on an Apple //c), you could see the floppy drives light up all the time.

I remember drooling over the new external 3.5 drive that could store over one megabyte for my Apple! I added (2) of those which added much more storage for the xfer section!

These days, I considering building a new "cheap man's SAN" that will hold over 12 hard drives to increase my 15+TB of storage..
