> What is a BBS?

You're joking, right?

BBS = Bulleten Board System

Before the Internet was publically accessable, most people that were online
were either using a commercial service such as Compuserve, or BBS's. Some
BBS's were free, others charged for access. There were even "Networks" of
BBS's such as Fidonet that shared email and message boards. Everything was
done via dialup, often with very slow modems.
