We also had the quite unique FIDONET address of 1:234/56, the only sequential address in the world. Jointly operated by Peter Barney and Chris Frankforther, PTS eventually obtained corporate sponsorship in the form of Peter's employer, Server Systems, Inc.

The whole point of this... um... pointless exercise is to introduce you to the PTS BASIC files area. Of course, this represents only a PORTION of the entire files area, but alas, I don't have a web provider with sufficient space to store it all. At any rate, here are all the file areas we had (which are available if anyone wants to donate 150MB of web space for them.)

Filebone Areas
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The various "Filebones" were feeds from other networks, scattered 
across the U.S. it was a pretty advanced file sharing system,
considering the fact that it never utilized the internet.
