@darius I was pretty deep into bbs's 87 to around 99 when I finally took my board down.

A lot of good times and lifelong friends.

We mostly used xmodem for transfers. It was pretty much standard. Kermit was there but it was like why use something different if it works.

There was a whole stack of life protocols. Xmodem, ymodem, xmodem crc, etc.
