I don't remember the terminology anymore but when dial-up BBSes were a thing, some popular ones limited your connection to 5 minutes. You were supposed to connect just long enough to download a file containing all of the forum threads and replies posted since you last connected (and upload a file with your own posts, if so inclined) and then hang up so someone else could use the line to do the same thing.
