I think you are right about that.  Galacticomm and eSoft were major
competitors.  I remember an issue of BoardWatch that featured a whole article
about a speed test that Phil Becker conducted between eSoft's TBBS and
Galacticomm's MajorBBS.  They tested a full 96 nodes of each and found that
TBBS outshined MBBS.
