Online Design before the web (1991)

Long before the Web became widely available to all, we were involved in designing online systems, including a project that quickly became known worldwide - the First BBS (Bulletin Board System) linked by satellite dish. Although that BBS hardware setup was complicated for that time, it was easy for online users. So easy, ONLINE ACCESS Magazine ranked it as a Top 10 Board for Beginners in 1994 out of an estimated 100,000 other online systems. Before the Worldwide Web became popular, the ONLY way to go online was to dial up a BBS by modem with your home computer.

Like the Web, BBS networks grew rapidly until they reached a point where 40,000 BBS systems were connected together in a global network called Fidonet. Many other BBS networks, such as our own GreenNet, sprang up using similar dial-up networking technology. Believe it or not, we actually paid OVER $1,000.00 for our 14.4 Kb U.S. Robotics modem. That was FAST way back in 1991! All that early experience still pays off for us today.
