 BC> I live in Portland, OR, which is in Multnomah County, which has the

 BC> BBSNETS BBS is in Hawaii and is only accessible over the internet. 

 LE> That's *way* roundabout.

 LE> I'm in Portland. And I don't currently have a BBS running behind my

 LE> Or you can try dialing into one of the other nodes in Net 105 that
 LE> still has a BBS on it.

I don't mind the way I do it because I get on the internet first then 
telnet to BBSNETS or use the library's Lynx program to browse the 
internet. 
The main thing is that it is free, AND accessible through my DOS 
terminal program. 

Dialing into the library is my ONLY internet access. 

As the local BBSes shut down, I stuck with BBSNETS. 

There was one local one that was still up, but a combination of poor 
phone lines to his area, and hard to figure out menus, on a B&W monitor, 
kept me going to BBSNETS.
