 I'm reminded of the "OS-9 Level 2 BBS".. I still have it now, but it is 
mostly useless except for some of the utilities that came with it.
Daily, I use "dloadx", uloadx", "dloady", "uloady", depending on the file 
type and size. The BBS system was quite remarkable inasmuch as it was fast 
and fairly easy to configure.
 It's sad that today, a BBS is history.

 HAH! I remember when I needed to call the author about an issue.  The 
answering machine played....

 " Hello?....

 Hello!


 I can't hear you.

 I still can't hear you!


 Oh! This is an answering machine, of course I can't hear you.


 Leave a message."

 Later, I called back and discovered the phone I called was a pay phone in a 
college dormitory.

 The author of the software was gone and ...... the rest is history..
