Ahh, those were the days.
X00/SIO (OS/2), FrontDoor/Intermail, RemoteAccess, Desqview/Desqview
X, QEMM, NetWare nodes, crazy batch files, squeezing out the last byte
of memory through CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT tweaks, doors, ANSI
menus/art (TheDraw/ACiDDraw), RIP graphics (who used that?), Zmodem
hacks with games (good for 2400 baud), Telemate/Telix etc.,
FILE_ID.DIZ, Ctrl-H (?) to introduce fake line noise for
annoying/unwanted users, LoRD/Usurper/BRE, ARJ, netmail (Fidonet
etc.), differentiating between v.FC and v.34 inbound calls based on
the sound, using up all the copper in my street, sleepless nights, ...
the death of BBSs and the birth of commonly available Internet access.
Cheers,
Dale
