   I really don't know what it stood for. I assumed it was short   
   for intelectual, since it encouraged discussion of topics and   
   discouraged - no, outright banned - flames and such.   
      
   When I first learned about and starting using BBS's in the 90's,   
   there was one board that had some usenet feeds, but that was   
   it other than local stuff. I think they had four incoming   
   lines.   
      
   Then The Fridge opened with TEN nodes and they were echoing   
   Intelec! I was suddenly introduced to a WORLD of stuff and   
   loved it! I jumped into several topics right off the bat and   
   next thing I knew I was moderator on one, then another, then   
   finally another. It was very cool!   
      
   Later the sysops there started VOL_NET, which connected several   
   Tennessee boards with each other. These were mostly long distance   
   from each other and even included a couple of North Mississippi   
   & North Alabama BBS's. This was cool as well, and in a different   
   way. :-)
