Review:
Contrary to popular belief, all online life didn't start with the Internet. Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) have been around since the late 1970s. In this wonderful guide, the author explains what BBSs are, where you can find them and what calling one is like. There is a wide variety of BBS software out there so the system you call may be very different from others. Each of the major BBS software packages is explored so that you can call with confidence, which is important considering that many BBSs give a short daily allotment of time. If you think you might want to be a sysop (system operator), this book will guide the way. Includes a diskette with Qmodem trial software.
