Thanks! I guess then I'm extra glad I never signed up for AOL! (I used
various Bulletin Boards back then.)
I ran "The Home for Wayward computers" BBS with 8 incoming lines/modems
that gave everyone command-line access to a Linux server. We ran ytalk
for everyone to chat with and a Nightmare MudOS that everyone edited and
built. Great times. And all of that on a 486-66. One of the biggest free
BBS's on the east coast at the time. It's amazing what you can do with a
little CPU using just text mode. Ric
