    Hello Tiny,

    28 Feb 25 07:06, you wrote to Mro:

    people left bbsing behind for good. there's other things they'd
    rather do.

    I didn't think I'd shut my system down, but when I realized I was just running it for myself it was an easy decision.

    i'm running your doors on my bbs :)

    You guys are talking about history far beyond my generation ;)
    I started shortly with modem to have dialup for the internet in the mid 90s.

    I though 14400 was slow then... but you beat my patience by far if you stood up to 1200. I presume delay on just simple ASCII typing and text receiving was a norm then.. can't even imagine how could you share something more than simple messages at that speed.

    I presume all that was before people invented files could be shared?

    ... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.


    I got a RS-232 Adapter for my C=64 so I could get a 2400 modum.
    That only raised my speed to 1200, never could get a2400 connection even after I got a 28.8k external modum.

    But HEY! 1200 is four times the speed of 300.
    It wasn't until I had a 486 system that I saw that modum get to its top speed.

    As much as I tried to see if the C64 would do 2400 nothing I tried allowed the Commodore System to connect at 2400.
    But I lived with it.
