And another utility to convert out of those nasty formats into the BBS message base.
I still kick my own ass daily for not getting more domains back then. At the time, it cost absolutely nothing to register them. The trick was finding someone who was willing and able to provide DNS...

Yeah I remember going to NC state and playing on the "internet" for the first time. I was flabbergasted when I saw a cat named "neo" which followed the mouse cursor.
