I used tag for my bbs. I set up fido I had 4 lines in my house and we setup a line that was local to me and he hos line open the door to more exchange. I was called the Rock of ages, I had small dish on my roof and my data came from the dish at night. I had about 25 gigs of hard space for my bbs and would get files, games , pictures, software over night. WE had sysop parties about 1 month. IT was fun while it lasted.
Wow, that's an awesome story. I remember Fido BBS from back in the day. Four lines is impressive. Getting your data over satellite - that's cool. Really cool.
I was still on dial-up. I remember how excited I was when I got my first 9600 baud modem. I had one line that was 9600 baud, and the others were still 2400 baud. It was like striking gold to be able to get out on the 9600 line, lol. Then the 56K modems came out a few years after that.
Boy, yeah, those were some fun times.
