I had to wait til I was old enough to get a phone line in my own name before running a BBS. And also til I had a modem that would auto-answer, which was not a given back then!
But I confess my first question for a working but unassigned phone line would be: who gets the bill for long distance calls?
I had access to no-cost long distance calling through other administrative oversights, but they were a bit more effort to maintain! :)
