I had a system up briefly in the 1980's....for a while in Louisville in 1989. Brought it back up in 1991, and it has moved a couple of times since then. It is still up and running in Frankfort, KY, USA. It is now called Capitol City Online and can be reached at 502-875-8938. It'll probably be down off and on today, due to the threat of thunderstorms, but it is usually up and running at that number.
I can remember when there were 30+ BBSes up and online during the same time frame in the Louisville, KY, area. The GT Power Network was just as popular there, if not more so, as there were about 10 nodes online at once. I am now one of two nodes left in the "local net," and am no longer a local call to the area.
I have copies of the GT Network nodelists from way back, if you are interested in using them to "grow" the list.
