| - B.B.S, is a computer system running software that allows users to connect and log in to the system using a terminal program., either through electronic mail, public message boards, and sometimes via direct chatting.. A replica of the physical which allows small notices, advertisements and other messages. .. Benefits Once logged in, a user can perform functions such as uploading and downloading software and data, reading news and bulletins, and exchanging messages with other users. .. Many B.B.S also offer on-line games, in which users can compete with each other and B.B.S with multiple phone lines often provide chat rooms, allowing users to interact with each others. Multipurpose allows downloading. Uploading of files and images and also provides software updates and display advertisements. .. Advantage is the fact that BBS are easy to use; since a BBS uses a text-based interface, accessing a different page is as simple as pressing a button on the keyboard. Another advantage is the fact that BBS users normally type in their human language using proper grammar (unlike the younger generation of internet users today, who exclusively use acronyms that are neither 100% apparent to every person, nor standard to their language in general Drawbacks There is a chance that your questions might be left behind. It’s a problem for people who don’t have internet connections or aren’t willing to buy things because they are much concern about the online payments. .. Due to the fact that BBS use Telnet to communicate between computers (implying that one computer is dialing a phone number to access another,) computer users may be charged for long-distance communication (even though the Telnet protocol also operates through DLS modems & LAN lines). Also, when compared to DSL-based systems, Telnet can only transmit & receive ASCII/ANSI data (i.e.: keystrokes & on-screen text) at high speed; BBS are notoriously slow when it comes to downloading (& especially uploading) particularly large files (which is why most files available through BBS are compressed in various archive formats). Another problem is that, when a user tries to download a file from a long-distance BBS, the download speed will decrease when compared to that of a local BBS. In short, BBS are limited in what they can offer (in terms of downloads) & that users tend to avoid calling long-distance BBS. Bold text
