KOM (BBS)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KOM is a type of BBS, with an intuitive text-based (as opposed to a menu based) input system. The first was QZ KOM, but soon others imitated the user interface.
The QZKOM system was first opened in 1978, which probably makes it the first Swedish-developed forum service in Sweden. It was forbidden by the Swedish government late the same year, reopened with permission in 1979.
Before opening of QZKOM, QZ ran the American system Forum-Planet which provided similar services but only for very small user groups.
Some KOMpatible systems are:
