    AT> That's funny! When I started out I was using my parents' voice line and   
    AT> was running the BBS from like 10pm-7am, and they had call-waiting, which   
    AT> caused similar issues.   
      
   My first board only ran at night on our single voice line.  It was around   
   89/90 maybe, in the San Diego area.  There was a local computer magazine,   
   which was printed on folded newsprint and distributed in book stores. I think   
   it was called ComputorEdge.  They had a BBS list in there, and there I listed   
   mine with the hours of operation.   
      
   I seem to recall, that for the most part, people obeyed and wouldn't call   
   outside hours.  If they did when you answered you could guess it was a modem   
   if there was just silence.  I would say something like "The board goes up at   
   8pm!" or whatever, and hope the person heard it thru their modem speaker.
