Short History
A brief history of this incarnation of The Wrong Number ][ BBS, it came back to life on May 8th, 2018 after a 22 year hiatus. The system was running Mystic BBS a39.
We started out with a very basic system and it has grown to what it is today. There is another page on this website with the history of the BBS' I run today.
This BBS is hooked up to 12 FTN Networks at the moment, an InterBBS File Server, 6 InterBBS Game Servers, and our very own Game Server, plus a lot more! You've
already taken the first step into our home, now take the next step and log on to one of the boards from the Telnet Page.

pieces of them are carried.

is up.
Short History
A brief history of The Wrong Number ]I[ BBS, this BBS was put online on October 1st, 2018. It was the second Amiga BBS I have run, the first was an
Excelsior! BBS back in 1993-1995. This is the first C-Net BBS I have run since approximately October of 1988 when I changed over to Image BBS C64 Software.

This setup is one of the fastest Commodore setups around. With the Image v3.0 Software, it is very difficult to tell that it is run on a Commodore 64. It rivals
most Amiga and PC BBS programs for functionality and speed.

The Original Wrong Number ][ BBS in all of it's glory from the day it was taken down on 5/1/1993.Exactly the same as it was that day, only difference is the user
base is new and the sub-boards are new. Everything else from the Auto Messages to the Graphic Screens are the same, including the file library from 1993 with some
hard to find files from that time still preserved on this BBS. Give it a call via your favorite Color Graphics Terminal Program or click the Telnet to CBM BBS' tab
on the top of this page, then click the graphic screen of The Wrong Number ][ Retro graphic
and you will be taken to the BBS.

Bucko's Den BBS runs on a Emulated Commodore 128 in the Vice Emulator. It is one of only two known C-Net 128 BBS' still running today. Although
not attached to any networks or having a working file base (yet! I am close to that) it is more of a nostalgia BBS right now. That is not to say
it will never be a full fledged BBS. Give it a try you just might enjoy seeing a BBS from the late 90's which is very stable now in Emulation.

A little background to this BBS. Back in the late 80's my Co-SysOp Black Hawk decided to put up a BBS and being the outside of the box type of Co-SysOp
he didn't want to run Image, C-Net, or any of the more popular Commodore BBS software at the time. He put up a All American BBS, then a DTJ BBS, and finally
after seeing how much more powerful and more popular C-Net and Image were, I gave him my copy of C-Net 11.1a because he didn't want to run Image because everyone
was running Image. He ran the 11.1a for a few months and found a cracked copy of C-Net 12.0 which he immediately put on-online. Since I had a ton of mods and
PFiles for it, we worked on that BBS doing a ton of changes. Eventually he moved over to Image and joined the NISSA Network. Black Hawk was not well known in the
BBS community outside of the 914 area code, but him and I did a lot for the 914 Commodore Community. Recently my friend passed away. When I got back into
the BBS world, the first thing out of him was "You're not putting the BBS back up are you?" Which he couldn't believe I would. So since my friend was such
an out of the box type of SysOp I decided to run Centipede BBS with him as the SysOp in Memoriam to him. Give it a call, it has 2 lines and there is InterBBS
chatting between the 2 lines. I am modifying it and adding in online games and it will have a file library which will consist of many former commercial
games and utilities.
