Michael Bacon@randomdent Dial-in local BBS systems such as Wildcat!, QBBS, MajorBBS, Citadel, etc.
Howlin’ HobbitI ran a TriBBS for a while, complete with EchoMail for forums and private messages. it was set up like a phone tree, in that you had a scheduled time to contact your “hub” and swap message packages. it was automated and, unless you had a multi-line BBS your board would go offline during the swap.
