I ran a BBS briefly around 1990 or so while I was in college. Then, the State of Montana wanted someone to do customer support and run their BBS. So I applied for that job, got it and moved to Montana. After going through internet withdrawals, I made a presentation to the local computer users group about the internet and suggested a group of us start an ISP. That ISP turned into a WISP in 1997. As we added sites we discovered we needed a cheaper cambium Sync Alternatives and also site monitoring. Nothing really existed so packetflux was born. So, one can trace the path from packetflux all the way back to me running a BBS in college... each probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't run that BBS.
