 Picture an ASCII representation of the company logo, lots of
 boilerplate, and ASCII menus reminiscent of PCBoard. That's what
 I recall from calling AST, PC Magazine's BBS, 3com and some others in
 the 1990s.

 I inherited an AST AboveBoard, one of those interesting memory board
 plus serial/parallel. It had a socketed serial chip, so I could get one
 of those 16550s and run the BBS off of it.

 The board had 3 separate DIP switch fields, if memory serves, and no
 silk-screened indications on the board. I was able to download the
 manual as a txt file and thought that was pretty cool.

 Around that time, I was setting up an interactive voice response
 faxback system for my company, they weren't convinced that enough
 people had modems at the time for a BBS!
