The southeastern CT area was predominantly        QuickBBS systems when I started, which as time went on shifted toward        RemoteAccess as it was the first QuickBBS style system to allow multi-node        operation. There were also a few PCBoard and TeleGard systems around, along        with a handful of Amiga systems running AmiExpress, etc. Opus-CBCS and        Maximus were also represented.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20220504        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 18/200 19/37 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/130 131 129/305 330 331 142/799 153/7715 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 317 400 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/119 219 319 322/0 757 325/304 326/101 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 320/219 229/426           |
