That is pretty neat and brought up a software name -- BBS-PC! -- that I had
not heard in a long, long time.

I was living in Louisville when I got into BBSing.  I can remember the
names of some of the PC clone based BBSes I used to call and, later,
connect with via a network, but most of the Commodore and Amiga BBS names
have escaped me.  A lot of them were not online long!  I do remember, as
you mentioned, some of them had a "maze" of screens to navigate before you
got to a menu.

Those were the days!
