Micropolis BBS history
During the 1990s, the Internet was in its infancy. The medium of choice for many computer
users were so called
BBS,
bulletin board systems, which could be used to send messages between users, share files
and communicate in other interactive ways with each other. Micropolis operated its own BBS
between 1990 and 1995 to offer tech support to users of Micropolis products. Refer to our
BBS FAQ for more info and explantion of common
lingo.
BBS were usually accessed via dial-up phone lines. A computer used a modem to connect to
the remote system and a terminal program was used to send to and receive data from the BBS. When
the Internet in form of the World Wide Web became accessible to a broader user base, one-to-many
TCP/IP usage patterns quickly rendered the single point-to-point dial-up modem lines obsolete.
