I got very lucky about then when my father got his work to pay for bonded ISDN to our house in the middle of nowhere. Being able to connect to BBSes at 128kbit was insane.

But the big thing with ISDN and the internet was the latency. A bunch of mudding friends brought over their computers all the time since they could suddenly play with a latency almost as good as the older kids who played from their university dorms.
