For those old BBS modemmers, I was the former SysOp of The Bobcat BBS System - Home of Utilities and Shareware (a licensed BBS by TAS) during the early 90's thereafter, internet wiped out the existance of BBSes. My son Asst SysOp Edwin Chan TC who was 15 years old at that time, was helping me maintain the BBS.
From my recollection of those early BBS days, fidonet was formed sometime in 1986 when it started off in the USA.
1987 Oct, Wing Lee and Lam Siew Hong started with a region 51 for Asean under fidonet 6:600 with 12 nodes. At the same time, Malaysia also started under Asean.
1992 expanded with more hubs like 200 (Lai_Zit_Seng), 300 (Kelvin_Khoo), 400 (Kelvin_Goh) and 500 (Ivan_Leong).
1993 Sept - Bobcat BBS joined fidonet under Hub 200 as 6:600/231 and more hubs 600 (Teo_Chee_Kian) and 700 (Paul_Chatfield) were added.
During this time, Bobcat BBS was also a registered member of the Association of Shareware Professionals ASP# 454 [04/21/93] ASP Membership Listing (http://www.textfiles.com/bbs/aspbbs.txt), BOBNet HQ, DMLiNKS, DoorNet, U-NInet,
1996 July - Bobcat BBS was registered with TAS as a licensed BBS in Singapore.
With the emergence of internet, time-based phone call charges and worldwide web, BBSes existence has been exterminated. Bobcat BBS finally closed it's doors sometime in 2001 after seven (7) years.
Modems used during the final years were 19200 V32B ZYXEL Modem and USRobotics 9600 to 52k HST Modem.
