Heha - wow... I had forgotten about Procomm Plus. This is just like my story, except for the bit where you got to play with it and dial into BBSes! In my case my dad brought home a 286 PC and 2400 baud modem from work, along with a list of BBSes a work colleague had given him. I got to watch while he called into a couple and downloaded some dopey EGA paint program but the phone calls cost so much (and I'd have been fairly young at the time) that he never entrusted me with it :)
