Hello Niels!

Welcome to fsxNet, and thanks for posting your intro!

Oh yes, those were the times...

Phone calls weren't very cheap here in Sweden either -- and the national telco must have made quite a lot of money from all BBS calls (and later on dial-up Internet).

Using non-approved phone equipment wasn't a crime here (I think), but if you would have any trouble with your phone line, they would always ask you if you had any non-approved devices connected.

I remember all the computer magazines and ads back then -- there was always something new that one could dream of. =)

Best regards
