List of past and present Hamilton BBS's.
(I suggest not creating a node for BBSes that weren't run by WLUG members. -- 
CraigBox)
Past:
CraigBox (aka Criggie)zcat(1) is still the 'official' BBS list maintainer, although I pretty much gave up maintaining it when there were only two BBSes left, (Galaxy and Dixons). Here's the Hamilton part of the most recent list. I have the entire list if anyone wants it, unfortunately I never kept any earlier versions; I suck as a historian!
BTW; Global network is probably not a BBS; it was a node-only in '99 and is already not in this copy of the list.

provide.

Fees: If you suffer a stroke and want to send money feel, free to.
Comments: OK - if you notice a few inconsistancies in things (like the
occasional reference to the Labyrinth CBCS) it's cos I used to
be co-sys, and the owner of the key let me use it as the Labyrinth
is down. Many thanks to aquila@wave.co.nz for the key, David has
moved on to bigger and better things (UNIX and the likes).
No file ratios are in force yet as I don't have a base worth
rationing, but if it gets abused I might think of adding ratios.
Main rule is try and have fun. Not File Requestable at this stage.
