When I was in college at OSU we ran a 12 node ringdown BBS with all USR 16.8 modems. We used node PC's connected by netware 3.1. Each PC ran two USR 16.8 modems online simultaneously and we had 6 node machines on the network. We ran a proprietary underground BBS software called celerity. Most days our 12 telephone line were tied up and we had people calling our BBS from all over the world. Our project was self funded by our members who would donate $ and hardware to our project. It was a lot of fun. It's funny when we had the phone company come to the house we were living in. They mounted a box on the brick wall outside the second story window that could contain up to 128 phone lines to host our 12 phone line ringdown.
US Robotics were the Kings of modems... Every BBS like ours ran USR 16.8 because while everyone else had 14.4k or slower modems we could all talk 16.8k... the good ol' days for sure!
