Most certainly!
I dialled into a BBS to get my email, and also access to several
usenet groups. This was my internet (Internet?) access until I went to
university and got direct access via their Unix workstations at the
faculty, and a little later via dial-up shell access at home. (Still
through the university servers; public ISP's didn't surface in the
Netherlands for another year or so.)
All this on my good old Philips MSX NMS-8255 with a 1200 baud modem.
Good times!
