To which Bf2K+ replies...

IN 1985 my Atari 8 bit BBS had mostly long distance users... when I
switched to a PC and Fidonet around 1988, the ratio changed to mostly
local users.

And I also have a modem line on my current BBS, although I disabled it a
couple of weeks ago for some variable elimination testing...
