Hopefully there is some other old fart out there who does remember this: an even older - ca. 1983 - graphical BBS host, but I can't remember the name.
Users would run a BASIC program which installed a TSR. When connected to the host, you would opt for the graphics pages. The TSR would use the BASIC DRAW statement to render simple vector images while you waited. It required a CGA display, or clone Hercules mono video plus a cool little utility called SimCGA to emulate one.

Ring any bells?
