Broadway Hacker started out in the BBS world in late 1983 when he
|
|
first got his modem. On March 23, 1985, The Broadway Show, his first bulletin
|
|
board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on 1 disk drive at 300 baud
|
|
and has upgraded incredibly. It was originally a phreak board as it currently
|
|
is also. He had originally gotten his C-64 computer in early 1985. Various
|
|
members of the elite world including King Blotto, Lex Luthor, and Dr. Who got
|
|
on his board to make it the memorable board that it was before the format
|
|
change. His phreak experience began in 1981 through CB radios when a CB'er
|
|
gave him a code over the line. Some of the memorable phreak boards he was on
|
|
included Blottoland, The AT&T Phone Center of 312, and Dark Side of the Moon of
|
|
818. He gives credit for his phreak knowledge to conferences mostly. The Radio
|
|
|
|
Mike works at a very large radio station. His phreaking is unknown at
|
|
work. He's not particularly interested in programming beyond modifying The
|
|
Radio Station.
|
|
|
|
Broadway Hacker hasn't the time for hacking now. Broadway attends the
|
|
Tap meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was a regular. He
|
|
attended the 1986 TelePub meeting in New York which was to decide the fate of
|
|
Tap magazine. Broadway has met various phreaks in person including BIOC Agent
|
|
003, Lex Luthor, Dr. Who, King Blotto, Cheshire Catalyst, The Sprinter, The
|
|
Saint, Micro Ghoul, 2600 Magazine People, Paul Muad'Dib, and TUC. There were
|
|
others, but he couldn't remember at 9:00 AM EST. He has made it a point to not
|
|
become a member of groups, but he has been, in the past, invited to many.
|
|

Interests: Traveling, radio, telecommunications (modeming, phreaking),
|

trashing, meeting other phreaks, BBS'ing, and running The

Some People to Mention
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Sigmund Fraud (an up-and-coming phreak who has learned a lot in a short time)
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Broadway Hacker wishes you all to know that he does not conference at
|
|
all any more because conferencing has depreciated from the old days and that
|
|
they have become mostly a place to gather for gossip.

I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in
|
|
the near future. ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees.
|
|
|
|
Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
|
|
phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? For the most part, Broadway says, "No".
|
|
Thanks for your time Mike.
