FEATURED BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM

        Have you been looking for something to do?  Have you been wanting to
meet new friends?  Here is your chance, do it on-line with Lincoln County's
only full service Bulletin Board Service!  

        Meet Don Bindley, Systems Operator of the FireBurners BBS. Addicted 
to the on-line world, Don started the FireBurners BBS two years ago as an
attempt to make a contribution to his community and maybe keep some kids off
the streets.  Besides, he realized that the on-line world was going to be the 
future of communications.  Yes, even in Oregon. 


        About FireBurners:  Having started up only a couple of years ago it 
still is in its infancy as a system.  Presently the BBS is only two (2) lines 
with full InterNet access.  FireBurners runs 75 on-line games, on-line publi-
cations, on-line chat, 225 message areas and 10 CDs are available.  Prior to 
the InterNet being incorporated into the system FireBurners boasted nearly 
1000 message areas.  

        FireBurners is also the official North American distribution / 
registration site for the Arrowbridge door game. (SEE AD for the latest 
released version following this article).  They are a distribution site for 
Digital Interface Software (writers of Future Runner, Nuclear Wars,
Board Base Pro, Word Mix, Rebel Kingdom and soon to be released Island 
Empires) and Seth Able doors (Legend of the Red Dragon and Planets).  All 
this is run under Wildcat 4.01.  FireBurners is always looking for other
writers of software that would need an additional distribution and /or 
registration site.  

        Don and everyone at FireBurners BBS believe they have the foundation
of a very large on-line service for the West Coast and some of the Midwest.   
Their InterNet connection is established through the Cyberspace Transporter
door via New Visions, Inc.  Don recognizes that two incoming lines is
limiting but with advertising and increased recognition to his service the 
system can only grow larger.  

        FireBurners BBS is not named after famous fire bugs but rather the 
papermill in Oregon where Don operates the recovery boilers and retains a         
"fire" in them to produce steam, hence "FireBurners".  FireBurners stands
strong in family unity and is built with this atmosphere in mind.  Don would
like to see the whole family become involved in this on-line world and 
promotes this with his special family pricing policy.  

        Pricing policy for BBS is as follows:  Individually, One month $5.00, 
6 month $27 and one year $45 while family prices are $10, $45 and $60 re-
spectfully.  InterNet Prices are: $25 a month for BBS subscribers while it is 
$35 a month for non-BBS subscribers.  Price includes 2 hours a day on the 
InterNet.
