I ran a BBS in the Baltimore area as a kid. Of course, it was only open after midnight and closed again at 4 am. I used to set my alarm and sneak upstairs to turn off/on the ringers on the other phones. I had about 8 regular callers from all over MD -- this was practically international to a 9 year-old. I ran TriBBS.

Yeah I love BBSes. Seems a lot of other folks like them too so I'm going to continue hacking on this as the official "something more than chat" demo.
