(416) 231-9538 I Jud Newell; (3BV;20M); allows limited access without registra- tion; (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) >>> THIS SYSTEM IS ALSO A COLLECTION POINT FOR UPDATES TO THIS LIST. PLEASE SEND THE INFO. AS A COMMENT ON LEAVING SYSTEM. ====== NOTES: 1. Call-back systems are those where a computer and real people share the same telephone line. 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. Most 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. Whether a program exchange system is accessible by 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 Metrofone are 50-60% of Ma Bell's regular long distance rates. 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. 6. NEW SYSOPS: When messaging Jud or Kim with information about your system, please include the following data: a. Your system's name (& BBS type) (examples: Joe Blow's RBBS, Home Town RCPM/CBBS) b. Your system's area code and phone number c. Your name d. Call back/no call back e. Hours of operation f. Baud rates supported g. Alternative long distance services that can call you (Note that you don't have to subscribe to any, just list those that can call your system. If you don't know, call the local MCI, SPRINT or ITT offices or their 800 numbers and ask 'em.) h. Your total on-line storage capacity, (KB or MB) i. Your location, (city, state or area) j. Special features or interests, hardware notes, etc. It will be of great help if you can upload the information in a file with a format similar to the listings above.
