Feature Phone Bulletin For Free

A bulletin board system (BBS) is a computer or an application dedicated to the sharing or exchange of messages or other files on a network. Originally an electronic version of the type of bulletin board found on the wall in many kitchens and work places, the BBS was used to post simple messages between users.

A bulletin board system (BBS) is a computer network that allows users to communicate with each other electronically, and share data. The linking of computers can be achieved by many means. These include dedicated cables, satellite links, telephone lines and other forms of electronic communications.

Moreover, Internet protocols allowed that same single connection to be used to contact multiple services at the same time; for example, downloading files from an FTP library while checking the weather on a local news website. In comparison, a connection to a BBS allowed access only to the information on that system.

What is the difference between email and bulletin boards? Email is push - messages are sent to you. Bulletin boards are pull - you login to read messages. Email is one-to-one, bulletin boards are one-to-many.

While few BBSes remain today compared to their height in the early-mid 1990s, one can still connect to a BBS using the internet. Thanks to the antique text-only protocol called telnet, you can use a terminal emulator program to start BBSing just like the glory days.

mail is a way to converse privately with one or more people over the Internet; electronic bulletin boards are public. Any visitor to a message board can read and respond to any message found there, although registration of some kind is usually required before "posting" privileges are granted.
