I, and my oldest son put a BBS up in '81. I wrote the code for it.

Without my knowledge he and some of his friends got into "freaking" and the FBI became interested in his group of "freakers".

He came to me and confessed to me about what was going on and that the FBI had already talked to some of his friends. I shut down the BBS the same day, and his friends did not give him up, so never had a visit from the FBI.

The FBI did not prosecute any of his local friends but did take down some of the ring in San Francisco if I remember correctly.

By the way, if I remember correctly, we initially operated at 300 Baud and when we went to 1200 Baud thought it was really a big deal.
