Canada Remote Systems

Canada Remote Systems, or simply CRS, was a major commercial bulletin board system located in the Toronto area. It was one of the earliest commercial systems outside the "big iron" companies such as CompuServe or The Source. At times it was among the largest BBS systems in the world, often trading that position with the US-based Exec-PC, based on the number of telephone lines and its 10,000 user subscriber base. It won the 1992 Readers Choice award in Boardwatch Magazine. It survived into the 1990s, before being overwhelmed by the Internet and closing down.
