Thats so cool - the 'big' BBS in my (419) switched over to a small ISP as BBSes were going out. We used to hang out with her daughter a lot and got to see the BBS and later the ISP - super cool. 

She was using some sort of hardware w/ multiple modems on one board; I think 32 lines at the peak for her ISP... then the big guys came and killed that, too. :/
