Here is an up-to-date and verified list of BBS's in the S.F. Bay area. These numbers were called during a two month period from mid-August to mid-October 1988. Given the rapid change in BBS's here, it may be possible that some of the verified BBS's have become goners. If you find such a BBS, please send me mail so the list can be modified.
