    AA> I came on board to Fidonet in 1993 with Vis a Vis Communications     
    AA> BBS.  I offered internet email, and QWK for offline reading.   
      
   It was cool when BBSs started offering internet e-mail. It was fututistic and   
   exciting. I found a BBS that offered it too, but of course I didn't have tons   
   of people to send e-mail to back then.   
      
    AA> Prior to all that, I experimented with operating a low key BBS     
    AA> for about 3 years using RBBS-PC.  It was very tricky at the time     
      
   There were a handful of RBBS boards in my area. Does it support color? I   
   remember those being all monochrome (I think.)   
      
    AA> front-door intercom system to my apartment. Whenever I got a     
    AA> buzz at the door, it would interrupt the BBS session currently     
    AA> in progress.   
      
   That's funny! When I started out I was using my parents' voice line and was   
   running the BBS from like 10pm-7am, and they had call-waiting, which caused   
   similar issues.   
      
   Back then there were a bunch of BBSs running just at night - looking back,   
   that was such a terrible idea!
