I closed down my BBS nearly 30 years ago. I ran Bit
Wiz Opus (115/689) for a
long time. I've forgotten what it was called in FidoNet but my system was
the gateway for net 115 to the back bone for several years. At a telephone
cost of over $100/month. I shut it down sometime in the early 90's. It ran
on a 10MHz 286.
It's nice to hear that Fidonet still exists though with direct email, blogs,
forums, etc. I'm quite surprised.
But then, I play with 50 year old PDP-8 computers so who am I wonder why
people keep old technology running?.
While there are still some nodes running on POTS, it's mostly over IP
these days.
