I only recently found out about it and really enjoyed the content - wanted to bring it up for anyone who might be interested.

It's particularly relevant, I think, to any modern forum dweller, as it documents how people slowly consolidated a system through which they could communicate online via text messages, and do various other things, by running a piece of software on a central server others could (painstakingly) dial into.

Bumping this up a bit - hopefully people that would have missed it a couple of days ago will see it.

Thanks, I've been watchting in bits, the low res can't be helped I guess as the doc was released in 2004. There's also a lot to stop for and Google to know more as it's mentioned.

I'll have to check it out. My first couple of emails were sent via a FIDOnet gateway.

Thanks! I don't really see it a sequel since the topic is very different, but it was interesting nevertheless.
