I've never run a bbs in my life. In fact over here in Germany they were never very popular, since during the late-70s to mid-80s
1.) local calls weren't ever free, and around 1980 they also stopped being "pay once, talk as long as you like". 2.) phreaking was impossible on the German mechanical-electrical switched phone net.
3.) long-distance calls had very hefty prices4.) connecting modems to the phone net was not allowed, except for very expensive bad-quality non-standard models you could rent from the German Post Office for a hefty monthly fee.
