    I don't what problems you all had - when it started to slow down for me I just hooked up my old Radio Shack 300 baud modem with Mosaic and went back to the good ol' days!

    I never used a 300 baud modem because when people where using these modems, there wasn't anything to connect to unless you were a business. I did however, connect at 1200 baud back in the bulletin board days. Me and Mathew were playing War Games!

    I too missed out on the 300 baud modems and started with a 1200 baud. I had two phone lines as well so I could run a BBS on my 486. Now when I find myself mentioning a BBS to the younger generation I just say, "think if it as a much smaller version of the internet" I used to enjoy all the "door games" but Legend of the Red Dragon was my favorite. Being the SysOp of the BBS, I was able to play it every day.

    Thanks for the reminder illilli you just made me all misty and nostalgic! I think I'll go pull out my oldest CD's full of saved files and see if I didn't burn a copy of my entire BBS to disk. If I did, I'll install DOS on a PIII I have kicking around and I'll fire it up just so I can play some of those old games!

    I had the same issues as everyone else and had no way of getting ahold of anybody to mention it. I kept getting a database error and figured it had to do with the recent move. It's running great right now!

    Next time maybe a few emails could be sent out. Like a phone tree you know! It is running pretty snappy right now!
