BBS Messages: Alex Wetmore's YABBS

In 1991, looking for a networkable BBS program, Freshman Alex Wetmore decided

to write his own. He named it YABBS, ported it to Linux as it became available,

and opened it to the public. It ran for two years, while he updated the

software, and then died a quiet death in April, 1994. Alex has been kind enough

to put the message bases from his BBS up on the internet, where a copy of

them resides here. Good solid stuff.
