When I got hold of my first modem I searched for a BBS and got to log into a 2 line BBS, membership was free, the long hours waiting for one of the lines to be free were hard.
Then I got into a paid service, they had 5 lines and on later times they got up to 15, the hours I spend chatting in the middle of the night were very expensive, the phone company charged by the minute at those years, and having a 1200 baud modem was terrible for downloading files, arghhh.
