Field notes
The page identifies Remote Access 2.02 as the BBS software and names FrontDoor, FastEcho, and ALLFIX in its mailer/tosser stack. The last-caller table reproduces handles and timestamps from the closing days, while noting that a few entries that looked like real names were left out. A linked guide describes restoring a 1995 board in DOSBox-X.
