Beta Mountain was a BBS in Nashville, TN. It used a very simple set of software that allowed quick access to many topical and thematic discussions, and was organized to separate 'social' topics such as 'what are you listening to right now?' from 'serious' topics such as religion and politics.

The sysop Paul Garrett (Rebel) describes it as "Run on a TRS-80 Model 4 modified for 2 DSDD drives and 2 DSDD-80 track drives. Operating system was Montezuma Micro CP/M 2.2. The modem was 300/1200 only. Was up from April 1985 until Sept 8, 1990 and had over 180 users. The users of the BBS had a social group called BiMBoS (Beta Mountain Benelovent Society) that met weekly at various local restaurants for fun, food, and drink."
