The Safe House is a Macintosh based FirstClass BBS system recently arisen from the ashes of the old Safe House running on NovaLink software. If you have a Macintosh, the graphic user interface (called FirstClass User) can be used to access the system. The system can also be accessed via the Command Line User Interface (CLUI) by any other type of computer. All users and computer types welcome-- there are message areas and file areas to suit everyone's tastes! We are soon to be Fido compatible again in the near future. Come by anytime...

Come in out of the cold. •

THE MINISTAR 

The "MINISTAR - BBS" (509) 529-5888 is Walla Walla's oldest and largest bulletin board. It serves a large host of user interest, and is a great way of expressing your opinions freely. Although, it should be kept in mind that the users of the board are also known to express there pros or cons of your comments and or suggestions. Be it all that it may, it is one thing for sure; it's great fun!

The "MINISTAR" is a great hang out for anyone with an interest in communications via modem, be it large or small. The board is based on a 80286 system with a 40 meg hard disk, also supported is a CD-Rom with over 10,000 files. The "MINISTAR" is a user supported system, therefor it is tailored to its users needs and desires. All that means it's not free, however it is worth paying for. The cost to access the "MINISTAR" is $20.00 for a six month period. Currently it only has one phone line with one or two more lines planed in the near future.

The "MINISTAR" uses the "PC Board" software and is very easy to maneuver around in. It has several different "hot" topic groups for opened discussion including, Photography, shooting, Amigas, IBM, Macintosh, Games, For Sale, Astronomy, and General store just to name a few. Users are free to upload or download anything, with credit given to new uploads within a certain date of creation. The "MINISTAR" is awaiting your call, give it a try and call today. •

THE MIAMI EXCHANGE

The MIAMI EXCHANGE was started in February of 1991. I have been calling BBS's since 1983, and so I decided to try being a SYSOP myself. I tried to incorporate some of the features I liked best from other BBS's I have called over the years.

The MIAMI EXCHANGE has something for everyone. It has many file areas, doors, and message bases. It has a large astronomy file section, for the stargazers out there. Sysops looking for door programs, will find over 100 doors available for download. Some of the other file areas available are, educational, games, GIF's, graphics, and communications to name just a few. New users may download up to 3 files on their first call regardless of file size. The only restriction is time. (First time callers are allowed 40 minutes of online time.) 

The MIAMI EXCHANGE is, and will always be a free access BBS. But like most BBS's, donations to the board are always accepted. As for the future, there are many things in store. Echo Mail, Net Mail, and more disk space, (currently there are 105 megs of online disk space) to name just a few. If you call I think you will agree, The MIAMI EXCHANGE has something for everyone! •
