NOTE: This list is updated monthly, please use the most recent to avoid ill-placed calls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL NOTICE TO SYSOPS: Please inform Kim, Jud or Steve of any changes in your system to avoid being removed from the list, which is verified periodically. If your system is no longer functioning, please have a friend modem a message so your system can be deleted. ALL SYSTEM OPERATORS, see note number 8 at the end of this file for important details on maintaining your spot on this list. Send update information to: Kim Levitt - MBBS HEADQUARTERS RCP/M - (213) 653-6398 [Leave msg on MBBS and/or upload file using XMODEM] or Jud Newell - TORONTO RCP/M SYSTEMS - (416) 232-0442, (416) 232-0269, (416) 231-1262, (416) 231-0538, (416) 232-1449 [Leave comments on exiting system] or Steve Sanders - PRO-COM DATABASE - (813) 937-3608 Steve Sanders - PRO-COM TECH RCPM (813) 937-6829 [Leave comments on exiting system] (See file NEW-SYS.OPS on most RCP/M Systems for required information.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unless otherwise indicated, all systems are up 24 hours/7 days with no callback. Non-24 hour systems have hours of operation listed after sysop's name, callback systems have a "cb" before phone number. (NOTE: "(no ans if in use)" for "hours" means system is up 24 hrs unless in in use by the system operator locally.) Systems charging fees have a dollar sign "$" after phone number. Some systems may restrict "first-time" users, be sure to read the opening info files when accessing a new system. Baud Rates: (shown after sysop name(s) or hours) (PMMI=1-7) 1=110 / 3=300 / 4=450 / 6=600 / 7=710 B=Bell 212A 1200 / V=Vadic 1200 Disk Capacity: (total disk space shown after baud rates) K=Kilobytes / M=Megabytes (See notes at end of list for more information) ========= NORTHEAST [Vermont] Waitsfield RBBS/RTPM ................................

To contact the people, just dial & let the phone ring until you get an answer. To contact the computer: (1) dial, (2) let the phone ring once, (3) hang up just before the 2nd ring, & (4) re-dial. 2. Note that the 212A/Vadic 1200 baud modems may not be compatable with yours. Some of the above systems are using Vadic 3451 Triple modems, compatable with both Bell and Vadic Standard. Sign on the first time at 300 baud to determine the system capabilities. Note also that PMMI's can sometimes be used over 300 baud with 1200 baud systems. PMMI baud rates are: 110, 300, 450, 600, 710 and are indicated above as "1-7". 3. Use of an alternative long-distance service should be considered when planning to modem over long programs. Charges on ITT Longer Distance, MCI, Sprint and Western Union are 50-60% of AT & T's regular long distance rates. These services and many others are available in many areas of the country and many of them can now call anywhere in the U.S. and will work fine at 300 and 1200 baud most of the time... (Note, however, that you might not be able to dial a system in Alaska, Hawaii or Canada depending on the service you get and sometimes you may have trouble connecting at 1200 baud.) 4. Total on-line disk capacity is shown for reference. Check the system documentation for exact details when logging on. 5. All times listed are local time, please observe operating hours for systems with scheduled availability. 6. If you find any errors in this listing, (or systems which do not support XMODEM protocol for file transfers), please forward the infor- mation to one of the systems listed at the top. 7. Many of the private/semi-private systems will allow System Operators access to the system. Each private/semi-private system has different rules regarding access. Most of these limit membership, which may mean that access is somewhat easier than fully public systems. However, as with public systems, quality varies greatly from system to system. Contact the System Operator first for details of system access, cost, etc. 8. SPECIAL NOTE TO SYSOPS: (by Jud Newell, 7/15/84) a. In an effort to keep this list manageable, we're arbitrarily restricted each entry to 4 lines including name and phone number. To do this, we arbitrarily edited some listings. If you'd like to say something different, message Kim, Steve, or I, but please restrict your listing to no more than 4 lines. b. You may be eligable for access on a no-fee basis to some of the private systems noted above. Contact the system operator of the system you wish access to for details of his policies. c. THIS LIST WILL BE VERIFIED BEFORE RCP/M LIST #55 is issued in October. If your system will be down during the period between September and October, let us know. Systems that do not return a valid carrier tone will be deleted from RCP/M LIST #55. -------
