To summarize: There were 15 sites on the net with 'adult' images. All are no longer in existence. Thanks to those who sent information. As to the numerous people who asked for ftp addresses of sites i am sorry but i know of none. Perhaps the only solution is use local bbs (ugh!). Perhaps some could post a list sorted geographically of these BBS. To help start the ball rolling here are some Calif BBS passed along to me: Abbreviations -- V = registration and/or validation by mail or other means hrs?, eves, days etc. refer to operating hours (if known) $ = charges a fee (ahead of name or number) + = reachable via PC Pursuit (before phone number) Baud rates where shown are in brackets [ ] -- 1: 1200 baud 2: 2400 baud 3: 300 baud 9: 9600 baud 4: 14400 (HST and/or V.42bis) *: Baudrates above 14400 including 19200. Systems offering 19.2k may feature either Hayes Proprietary or V.32 or both (Dual Standard). I am yet not aware of any standard baudrates between 14.4k and 19.2k. Example: [1249*] means 1200/2400/9600/14400/19200 baudrates. All boards listed operate 24 hours at the baudrates indicated unless otherwise noted. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that most remote access systems are privately owned and operated; although the systems listed here are verified every two months to have a modem on-line, this is no guarantee that a particular system will be operating at all times.

HI all, I guess I must be a little slow about this BUT I just thought that the BBS managers actually posted to the news groups carrying the Adult GIF's (etel) and made it so widely known that everyone of we deviates had to go look. Perhaps it was not the BBSers but I suspect that a few of them were probably responsible. for the huge demand of net resources. cheers, (hic!)
