Ha, yeah I remember Trumpet to get the TCP/IP stack in 3.1, then 3.11 included
one.

I actually had to use a SLIP emulator called SLURP to dial into my account. Once
authenticated all I had was a UNIX command prompt.

And those BBS's bring back memories.  I was a member of several ones that had a
secret "elite" area for WAREZ.  Took forever to get in because the operator only
had one or two phone lines (and sessions were time-limited).
