"One of the largest computer bulletin board systems in Colorado, "R.L. Systems," popularly known as Reggae Lane B.B.S. provided pioneering early Internet access to e-mail and Usenet and Fidonet newsgroups, founded in 1984 b
Lane R. Ellis using a 300 baud modem on a Commodore 64 computer running customized C-Net software and later on an Amiga 1000 running BBS-PC! software.
R.L. Systems received thousands of callers from around the world, provided support and software downloads for professional computer users, and in 1990 wa
honored to be named the #1 B.B.S. in the State of Colorado by Chet Solace and his Final List of worldwide B.B.S. rankings. R. L. Systems was also frequently
listed in Computer Shopper magazine. Among Reggae Land's users and fans was Dr
Ralph Slutz (1917-2005), a world-class scholar, physicist, and a computer pioneer, who in the 1940s was a principal engineer of the IAS and the SEAC computers."

That is pretty neat and brought up a software name -- BBS-PC! -- that I had
not heard in a long, long time.

I was living in Louisville when I got into BBSing. I can remember the
names of some of the PC clone based BBSes I used to call and, later,
connect with via a network, but most of the Commodore and Amiga BBS names
have escaped me. A lot of them were not online long! I do remember, as
you mentioned, some of them had a "maze" of screens to navigate before you
got to a menu.

Those were the days!

I think I only remember the names as they were pirate BBS's run by kids my age, with exception to "The Nunnery." BBSes back then had a distinct "dark and or rebellious" vibe and theme associate with them (often,) and or were super fun and maze like such as Reggae Land.

Those were the days!

Those were the days for sure, where creativity thrived. Today there are many "stock" systems mostly used for person ease / convenience of reading FTN's. Nothing wrong with that either .. but when BBSes work to bring the creativity and or "old vibe" back .. I find those to be most special and worth calling. There are many C-Net and other Commodore / Amiga BBSes open today that are definitely worth a peek!
