| | Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) |
 | | A bulletin board system or BBS is a computer system running software that allows users to dial into the system over a phone line and, using a terminal program, perform functions such as downloading software and data, uploading data, playing games, reading news, and exchanging messages with other users. |
 | | The network still exists today, but is dwindling in size and organization, due to the lack of callers to BBS systems that it was developed to serve, and the closing of most of those systems as a result. |
 | | The Bulletin Board System Interfaces were only using simple Text and a set of extended characters to generate "borders" and that sort of things (MS DOS ASCII Characters). |
