At one point, & The Temple of the Screaming Electron (the hub of my main 
network in the '90s) was running a cobbled together network of 10 386sx 
boxes. I don't recall the networking he used, but it was old thinnet 
Ethernet. After a while the phone company wanted to switch the lines over to 
business lines, thinking that *no one* could have a non-commercial use for 
10 phone lines!

&TOTSE was one of the biggest BBSes I'd seen.
