| Ward Christensen and the CBBS server |
The first public dial-up bulletin board system, named Computerized Bulletin Board System or CBBS, went online on February 16, 1978 in Chicago, Illinois. CBBS was developed by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess. At the time, the speed of the connection was 110 baud or 300 baud, which was very slow. Christensen created a file transfer protocol for sending binary computer files through modem connections. Christensen received 1992 Dvorak Awards for Excellence in Telecommunications for the first bulletin board system.
