I first started to run a bbs in Hawaii in 1991. The programs I used were Silicosis, Vision, Vision-X, RoboBOARD, and finally TheMajorBBS 6.25. I was the only board in Hawaii that ran MajorMUD. I closed the bbs down on April 17, 1999, because boards were going out of style...
I ran Digital Distortion (BBS) originally from 1994-2000 using RemoteAccess, located in northwest Oregon. I started running Digital Distortion again in 2007 using Synchronet and still run it to this day.
