This BBS runs the WinUAE Amiga Emulator which runs a A4000 with Amiga OS 3.2.2.1 emulation with everything Maxed out. Thus the reason this BBS is so fast. It also runs a BinkD BinkP Server for the Networks that are carried. Not all of the Networks carried on The Wrong Number ][ are carried on this BBS. Bits and pieces of them are carried. This BBS caters to Retro Computing. Mainly Commodore 8-Bit and Amiga, it carries the entire 1993 Wrong Number ][ File Library. Plus other files added since it is up.

Short History
A brief history of this incarnation of The Wrong Number ][ BBS,this BBS was put online on October 1st, 2018. It was the second Amiga BBS I have run, the first was an Excelsior! BBS back in 1993-1995. This is the first C-Net BBS I have run since approximately October of 1988 when I changed over to Image BBS C64 Software.
This BBS carries via a Mystic BBS Front End every Door Server that is carried on Wrong Number ][ BBS.

Bucko's Den BBS runs on a Emulated Commodore 128 in the Vice Emulator. It is one of only two known C-Net 128 BBS' still running today. Although not attached to any networks or having a working file base (yet! I am close to that) it is more of a nostalgia BBS right now. That is not to say it will never be a full fledged BBS. Give it a try you just might enjoy seeing a BBS from the late 90's which is very stable now in Emulation.

A little background to this BBS. Back in the late 80's my Co-SysOp Black Hawk decided to put up a BBS and being the outside of the box type of Co-SysOp he didn't want to run Image, C-Net, or any of the more popular Commodore BBS software at the time. He put up a All American BBS, then a DTJ BBS, and finally after seeing how much more powerful and more popular C-Net and Image were, I gave him my copy of C-Net 11.1a because he didn't want to run Image because everyone was running Image. He ran the 11.1a for a few months and found a cracked copy of C-Net 12.0 which he immediately put on-online. Since I had a ton of mods and PFiles for it, we worked on that BBS doing a ton of changes. Eventually he moved over to Image and joined the NISSA Network. Black Hawk was not well known in the BBS community outside of the 914 area code, but him and I did a lot for the 914 Commodore Community. Recently my friend passed away. When I got back into the BBS world, the first thing out of him was "You're not putting the BBS back up are you?" Which he couldn't believe I would. So since my friend was such an out of the box type of SysOp I decided to run Centipede BBS with him as the SysOp in Memoriam to him. Give it a call, it has 2 lines and there is InterBBS chatting between the 2 lines. I am modifying it and adding in online games and it will have a file library which will consist of many former commercial games and utilities.
