There was a photocopied one page list of BBS numbers going around Calgary by the mid-80s for the hardcore geeks. My 2400 baud US Robotics modem spent many an evening connected to one or another of these .
Internet though? You could get onto Usenet or use Gopher by the end of the 80s or early 90s, if you joined CUUG (Calgary Unix Users Group) or had access through the U of C, but there definitely weren't any home users with IP addresses in 1986. They should pay me to vet their IT talk in future.
