Well, that's a trip down memory lane.
I wrote the System/75 BBS over 1994-1995, as a way to learn Pascal and serial communications. It was from scratch, not a Vision/X or Renegade clone, like so many Pascal BBSs were at that time. It had built-in support for zmodem file transfers, which was sort of rare, and my best friend and I were experimenting with support for custom fonts and packetized communications, which would have allowed users to read and reply to messages while file transfers proceeded in the background. But along came TCP/IP and the Internet, not only making our work obsolete, but pretty much killing BBSs altogether. I deleted the source code before moving off to college, so I'm curious how you got it, but happy that you did, if only for the nostalgia.
Cheers,
Clay
