1、The history of Bulletin board system BBS 的發展史A bulletin board system, or BBS, is a computer system running software that allows users to connect and log into the system using a terminal program. Once logged in, a user can perform functions such as uploading and downloading software and data, reading

2、 news and bulletins, and exchanging messages with other users, either through email, public message boards, and sometimes via direct chatting. Many BBSes also offer on-line games, in which users can compete with each other, and BBSes with multiple phone lines often provide chat rooms, allowing users

3、 to interact with each other.Originally BBSes were accessed only over a phone line using a modem, but by the early 1990s some BBSes allowed access via a Telnet, packet switched network, or packet radio connection.Ward Christensen coined the term bulletin board system as a reference to the traditiona

8、twork services and other aspects of the Internet.As the use of the Internet became more widespread in the mid to late 1990s,traditional BBSes rapidly faded in popularity. Today, Internet forums occupy much of the same social and technological space as BBSes did, and the term BBS is often used to ref

14、ctions.Early BBSes were often a local phenomenon, as one had to dial into a BBS with a phone line and would have to pay additional long distance charges for a BBS out of the local calling area. Thus, many users of a given BBS usually lived in the same area, and activities such as BBS meets or get to

15、gethers were common, where users of the board would gather at a local restaurant, the sysop or similar venue and meet face to face.Early examplesA precursor to the public bulletin board system was Community Memory, started in August, 1973 in Berkeley, California, using hardwired terminals located in

16、 neighborhoods.1 Community Memory allowed the user to type messages into a terminal after inserting a coin, and offered a pure bulletin board experience with public messages only (no email or other features). It did offer the ability to tag messages with keywords, which the user could search on.The

17、first public dial-up BBS was developed by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess. According to an early interview, with the city snowed under during the Great Blizzard of 1978 in Chicago, the two beganpreliminary work on the Computerized Bulletin Board System, or CBBS. CBBS went online on February 16, 197

Prior to the Smartmodem, modems were almost entirely

Such systems were largely useless for BBS systems, because they could not disconnect after the call completed without the user physically hanging up the phone. The Smartmodem i

The Smartmodem was not necessary for BBS use, other modems could be left in answer mode, but the Smartmodem made operatio

The demand for complex ANSI and ASCII screens and larger file transfers taxed available channel capacity,which in turn propelled demand for faster modems. 1200 gave way to 2400 fairly rapidly, followed by a delay before 9,600 became common. 9,600 was not e
