    Maybe, one of these days, I'll make the 35 mile drive to make one of your meetings. My brother and I used to run a BBS on a C128 and a 300 bps modem back in the late 1980's here in Visalia. I don't remember the software we used, but I ran one on a C64 before that. The first computer I used (outside of high school) was a Plus 4.

    Hey, I live in Visalia!

    We live near Riggin & Dinuba Blvd (Hwy 63).

    I have (or had) a couple of Commodore emulators, but never could find some of the old programs I used to run. I also couldn't remember the OS commands, etc. I had C64 and then a 128 with a couple 1541 drives and even a 1581. I can't remember the modem I had, but it was only 300 bps.

    In high school, we used a dumb terminal with handset cradle modem to connect to the school's computer. (1980 or 81)
