Reminds me of Fido BBS from the late 80's early 90's. How it hop-scotches from one local call to another to avoid long distance calls when sending messages.

That was before my time, but I've heard about it and it sounds like it was a clever & fun system!

it worked great. in 1990, I lived in California and my brother lived in Maryland. His roommate had a fidonet node. I could connect to a local number in Los Angeles and be able to send files and emails to my brother living in College Park, MD. might take a day or two to get the message out, but worked great!
