Cottonwood BBS

I was a SysOp of a small BBS in Portland, Oregon, around 16 or 17 years ago. Back then, mine was one of dozens of dial-up Commodore BBS's in the Portland area, and one of thousands of BBS's all over North America. After spending several years overseas, I've recently returned to the U.S., and I disco...

Newly manufactured 5.25" floppy disks

I'm not selling anything... I just figured I'd share some info with all of you... I've been doing some searching to find out if there are any companies left that still manufacture 5.25" floppy disks, and I found one! David Moorman of Loadstar gave me the name of the company, and I've done a bit...

Cottonwood BBS status update

Just wanted to let everyone here know what the current status is with my BBS. Due to line noise issues, I've had to take the BBS offline until I can get a newer modem with v.42 error correction. I bought a 2400 baud Hayes compatible modem with v.42 on eBay today, so it should be here in about a wee...

AA BBS Serial Number?

OK... So I wanted to experiment with a few different BBS programs. I have a registered copy of AA BBS v9.6, which I believe was the last version that Nick Smith made. I bought the disk from him directly, and I still have the original disk and documentation. What I don't have is a serial number, whic...

Modem problem -- help, please!

Has anyone here had any experience in using a modem on a VoIP line? I know that's a bit backwards, but that's what I'm dealing with now... I seem to be having some problems with line noise on my Commodore, and I've been told it's because of the VoIP line, but I'm not entirely convinced that that's t...

Thats fantastic Andrew! Please keep us posted on how successful it is. It'll be a great deal more successful if you all give it a call and try it out... ;-) Seriously, though... I've found myself having to re-learn a lot as I go along. It's been a fun ride so far, and I hope it remains so. The BBS ...

Cottonwood BBS

After searching in vain for any dial-up Commodore BBS's that are still in operation and discovering, sadly, that there don't appear to be any left, I decided to bring mine back from the ashes... So dust off your Commodore computer and modem, and call: Cottonwood BBS An authentic dial-up Commodore BB...
