Eww Wildcat! How do you know it's a shareware board? Wildcat :-)
Telegard... those were the days (Except the single line limitation.)
Actually, AFTER my years doing the BBS thing I have to say eSoft TBBS was
the most impressive thing for me looking back. 64 14.4k lines on a single
486SX !! Since it handled the task switching internally, and I think they
used buffered Digiboards. Pretty cool.
