   We used a protocol called TelNet back then to connect to the various BBS terminals spread across the globe. Later on, a front-end interface called HyperTerminal appeared, which was basically a fancy TelNet client.

   Just not to dial into digital bulletin boards over a landline phone connection to debate about Star Wars vs Star Trek, and post ASCII nudes to titillate the senses.
   
   Oh, and when MIDI files came out...
