Yeah, I remember playing LORD and some other games on-line back then in beginning of the 90's. It was nice.. first touches to multiplayer games and online communities

Started with loaned 2400bps modem and then finally bought new ultra fast 14400bps modem myself

First started with JRcomm, but then moved to the great NComm... hmm.. in the middle I used Term too.. IIRC

Whole new world with BBS:es opened for me in the end of 90's when I got fast connection to internet. There have been hundreds of Amiga telnet boards around the world and now you got easy and fast access to them. DCTelnet's addressbook got pretty big quickly

That fun lasted for some years, but then it started to go quiet. Couple of years ago there was last dramatical drop and now there's only few boards left.
