    Everyone gone?? Curse these holidays and BBSing ... Holidays used to be the time to call boards from other people's homes while visiting. Ones that were LD to you, but not them. Any stories?!

    I'm still around. Ha! I didn't do much BBSing from other people's houses. I did get on AOL a lot from a far.

    Where I lived my BBS was a LD call from the main city, but I could call there locally (because ma' bell added on a $2 monthly charge to do so for my phone exchange wether you wanted it or not). So to get people to call me, I had to have a call back door. Which it meant for the user that they had to pay for ATLEAST 1 minute LD after they signed up just to call. It was a pain in the ass. I miss the dialup days, but I don't miss that.

    I miss the dailup days as well. was nice to have a real modem connection some magic to it that has certainly been lost. Maybe the way the screen drew maybe the infrequent line noise or even just the speaker on the modem each system having its one unique sound.

    What made me mad about it was Pacific Bell. One of
    the coolest boards was long distance I didn't even attempt to find out the dollar amount as that would have been the end of the modeming for me. the only way I even knew about it was reading about it in the nets. Is very nice to
    be able to telnet any system at any time.

    ... OK-give me ONE good reason why I can't have it both ways.

    Since we had free LD at the house, people would come over to use my non-BBS PC to call other places. I should have charged an entry fee.<G>
