I ran one of the few "original" Infoquick BBS' in Massachusetts.  Circa
1984 -1987  We had a loose network of Boards in the area.  There was also
something called "Arel-Net" which also ran Infoquick systems.

The Embassy of Knowledge - R.K. Adams Sysop
Minias Tirth - L.I. Butler  Sysop
United States Live - J.A. Berard Sysop
Network 23 - R.J. Caron Sysop

We called ourselves "The Syndetic Illuminati" and had this constitution or
bylaws called "The Great Ethical Ratification".  The Syndetic Illuminati
also produced some software around that same time. We would assemble with 
blitz, but spoof the code with the Commodore SYS tags.  That kept people 
from trying to crack into the software. The guy who wrote it was R.J. Caron, 
hell of a programmer.  He got Lew to give him the source code to Infoquick.  
We were ambitious with Nexus, but many of the things we tried to get it to 
do, were beyond the capabilities of the Commodore machines. 
We tried....though.

My system ran at 1200 bps and had four 1541 floppy drives.  Huge for that
time, but you could run a great message board at 300 bps and one 1541.  The
software was just that small and good.

Infoquick would look for the dongle in the serial port of the commodore 64,
but once it passed the boot routine, you could remove the dongle and run the
software.  The end user could customize color display on the host machine,
and all parameters for the board were created with a text editor that came
with the software.

Let me see if I remember what was required.

bbs file u - User list (Relative file that the computer read as a SEQ)
bbs file m - Message Base (REL - Relative file that the computer read as a
SEQ)
bbs config - Config file for sub-board titles, parameters, etc. (SEQ file)

These three files and the program.  The nice thing about Infoquick was that
it was small and completely memory resident.  Once you loaded the software,
you could remove the disk from the dri ve, load the board files, and have
more room on your drives.  I believe the original software was something
like 144 kb??  I think that's right.... we're talking 20 years here....

Another system in the area was called "Commodore Bordello"

When Infoquick was released to public domain, it had some bugs and became
prone to crashes.  The original software was far more stable. 

Infoquick was some amazing software for it's time.
