   Public BBS access for dial-up users that lets you connect to telnet BBSes over a dial-up modem.
   
   Wish I could dial into it but all the numbers are in the US.

     @niclas I didn't get to operate a BBS (my parents did not approve) but I did use FidoNet for a while.

     🤗 Were you operating BBS and FidoNet back in the days?

     I even used it to deliver software upgrades from Malaysia to a customer in Sweden for a short while, being a Point (below a Node) in both countries.

     Then Internet came and everything got much slower for a while.

     Nostalgia!!
