09/08/1996 After a long summer vacation, and lots of technical problems, Taiwan Online is finally back ONLINE. Cheers! |
|
06/21/1997 Again, Taiwan Online is back down for summer vacation. It is doubtful that Taiwan Online will return in it's current form, if at all. The main cause for this is because I'm moving to the United States. |
|
02/25/1998 Against all odds, Taiwan Online is back! But this time instead of a two node dial up BBS, we are now a TELNET only BBS with 8 nodes. The connection to the Internet, however, is a meager 56k. Just for the record, we can expand the BBS to 16 nodes at any time. It is, however, impossible for a 56k connection to support 16 simultaneous connections. That is why we have opened up only 8 nodes. We have upgraded our server from a Pentium 133Mhz to a Pentium II 266Mhz. |
|
03/25/1998 Taiwan Online has registered it's domain name, 'taiwanonline.org'. The reason we chose this over 'taiwanonline.com' is because the current owner of 'taiwanonline.com' asked for US $50,000 for that domain. Clearly an unaffordable price for a hobby BBS. |
|
04/25/1999 All that remains of Taiwan Online BBS is this website. In the BBS's 3 years of existance it has done more then I have ever imagined possible when I first installed the Test-Drive. I would like to take the time to thank everyone who has made Taiwan Online possible. I can be contacted at http://benjamintsai.com/. |
