Apparently I am still hooked on BBSs... I'm here almost every day.

I remember BBS's. We visited several. I remember
Telneting to other BBS's around the country.
Metropolis Entertainment: About Us Masterpiece is the one I was on most frequently.
I remember an early network system called "Gremlink" which you could dial, and then dial another number. It would port you to the new number. Dial enough numbers, and you could be ported anywhere in the country, without having long distance charges. Gremlink may have had something to do with Telnet, but I'm not sure.
