You may be in luck then! My mission to begin with was to simply spin up the
BBS package that defined my experience back in the day, but it became a kind
of preservation project after I got in touch with Shawn Highfield, the last
person standing on the Ezycom dev team. In a literal sense, in fact, since
I've learned that Stephen Gibbs passed away a couple years ago.
So Shawn is working on getting access to their archives, and hopefully some
time in the not-too-distant future, be able to share files and keys I can
use to create a resource.
Lots of people talk about the popular boards like Renegade, WWIV, PCBOARD,
Remote Access, but Ezycom is barely mentioned. I just would like to make
sure it's not forgotten! <3
Cheers
