Wow this brings back memories (and really dates me). I remember when I finally saved up enough lawn-cutting money to buy an AppleCat modem (for a Franklin Ace 1200) for my board "The Pirate Cove" (nothing to do with stealing software, I just thought it was a cool name) I miss BoardWatch magazine :-)

> for my board "The Pirate Cove" I think I remember the name... Did you run ads on magazines like Nibble? I always looked enviously at those ads. I live in Brazil and, at that time, using the phone to get to a local BBS was bad enough - doing long-distance would be ludicrously expensive... There was a Hayes-like dial-out device connected to ARPAC, Argentina's government-sponsored X.25 network, we could access from the Brazilian state-owned telco's own network (RENPAC), but I already said too much ;-)
