-2000 - Everyone with a modem had moved on to the Internet, so BruceKingsbury decided to write a BBS for those people _without_ modems. At one time the system was on two lines and regularly answering over 200 calls per day. Because it was completely in a different direction to where everyone else was going, the software was given the name "Vertical Access Voicemail System" (abbreviated as VAX/VMS) and was a combination of large amounts of BASH script and a small C program that handled the modem interface which all ran under Redhat Linux

BruceKingsbury was the last 'official BBS list maintainer', although he 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.
