        I ran a BBS using QuickBBS in the mid to late 80's, right at
the tail end of support for the non-80 column displays for the
various Atari and Commodore machines (at least in BBS programs not
running on them). We never became a FIDOnet node but used the same
software frontend and such to create a small network of local boards.
My board never went above single line on an XT-clone with a 40MB
drive and a 2400bps modem. Certainly a number of others on this
list started well before then.
