As a BBS sysop I have been running Medics Meetinghouse BBS since the Summer of 1991. Later that same year I became active in the formation of TTN Net, which subsequently evolved into the World Message Exchange Network (WME Net). I have been active in WME continuously since that time. At present I operate both my personal MMH-BBS, and the WME Nethost machine. Both machines are running TriBBS software, the WME MMH-BBS system is a DOS session under OS/2 Warp 4.
The WME Nethost machine is running under DOS 6.22.
