Part of the character of BBSing back then was not knowing where you
connected.

You'd set up a handful of your favorite BBSes to gang-dial, and it'd try
them all in a queue until one of them answered. I'd be in the other room
and hear Telix doing it's connect sound, come sit down and find out
which board answered. Let's see, is this the 1337 board, the shareware
board run by a creepy old guy, the underground board or the board with
Every Fido Echo Ever?
