When I moved to Montreal in early 1993, there were already a number of large BBSes around, so I never bothered with my own BBS again. I got hooked up with a very large Adult BBS here in town (where I met Evil Chris) and ended up helping out as a SysOp on it. The whole thing was on a 512Kb ISDN line and at the peak had 88 56K modems hooked up! It was all set-up in the owners spare bedroom, the size of a large closet.
On Carol's website in 95/96, we used to have people Telnet into the BBS to see more of her pictures and chat with her. Of course, for that, they had to pay! We brought international subscribers to a local BBS
