Introduction (What is FidoNet?)
A BULLETIN BOARD (BB) is run on a home
computer connected to a modem and
telephone line, and allows callers to
exchange messages and download files.
Indeed, using a viewdata bulletin board
is very like using Prestel, except that
there's only one phone line!
Viewdata bulletin boards aren't that
common: most boards (indeed ALL the
boards mentioned here) are what is
known as SCROLLING boards. In other
words, the information isn't displayed
as pages, but rather line-by-line: as
more information appears, so the text
"scrolls" up the screen.
