In 1978, Ward Cristiensen and Randy Seuss invented the computerized bulletin board system. The idea came when they decided they needed a way to exchange information concerning CACHE, the computer hobbyist club they were involved in. Since their invention of the BBS, many software packages were created to enable people to run bulletin board systems on various computers, such as TRS-80s, Apple II's, and CP/M machines. Most of these systems had only one modem hooked up to them, so popular systems were frequently busy.
Once the internet became popular in the mid 1990s, the concept of a computerized bulletin board changed dramatically. Bulletin boards now exist in the form of Usenet newsgroups and websites. Still, a user of a bulletin board system needs a computer to send and receive messages on a bulletin board.
Philmore Productions is proud to present the Voice Bulletin Board System. Now, anyone with a touch-tone phone can access a bulletin board system. For anyone who needs a bulletin board system to exchange information, we provide the hardware, software, and installation support to get a voice bulletin board up and running at your location.
Voice Bulletin Board Systems include the following features:
* Sysop (system operator) and User Accounts
* Multiple message bases
* Discussion (threaded) messages
* Bulletin (non-threaded) messages
* General Voice Files
* Private Voicemail
* Special menu option to leave feedback to Sysop
* Transfer call to Sysop's phone (if your phone system supports call transfer
We can even voice-enable your existing web-based bulletin board system so that messages posted to your website can be accessed over the phone, read to the caller with a computerized voice. Voice messages posted by phone users can even be made available as WAV file downloads on your website or can be transcribed to be made available in text form on the website. *
