As a user I preferred connecting to a PC-Board system. They were
usually easy to get around. I miss the BBSes at times. They always
felt a lot more personal than the 'net does in general. However, the
vast resources of the 'net obviously win hands down.
As an admin, I can only speak about the Major BBS from Galacticomm.
One place where I worked we used that and Galacticomm's 8 or 16 (I
can't remember which) serial port expansion chassis to give our remote
salescritters support and feed them info.
I think I still have my Procomm Plus disks around somewhere, though I
think I've lost my registration code in one move or another. Procomm
Plus and ZModem for downloads was the best. :-D What was everyone's
favorite communications program? Anyone else remember the original MS
Access telecommunications program? I think I still have a copy of that
with the funky plastic case.
