I am in the process of writing a book that serves as a primer to PC telecommunications and as a compendium of long-established BBSs. I would appreciate any lists of BBSs that you know about, or any suggestions you may have about good BBSs that you have encountered. Also, any horror stories that you have, or have heard about, I would be interested in. Please e-mail the information to me, as it might be a bit much for the net. Thank you, Bob Boulanger Intel OMO Hillsboro, OR ihf1:papyrus:6!aid

My mail bounced too...
I would recommend that the person compiling the list get ahold of the Fido
NodeList. It has about 2K entries now - from all over the world. There is
also a list called, I think, PAMS (or some such) that lists many BBSs -
presuming that it is still being updated it should be well over 3K entries.

Our mailer bounced the foobar address! Try Ed Gelb's Database at 201-694-7425 (300/1200/2400 baud, 24 hrs) THis is a BBS - it also has a *worldwide* list of BBS (it'll take you 3.5 hours to download everything at 300 baud) indexed by country, region, state, city, etc. Good Luck with your book! -- Patt Haring UUCP: ..cmcl2!phri!dasys1!patth Big Electric Cat Compu$erve: 76566,2510 New York, NY, USA MCI Mail: 306-1255; GEnie: PHaring (212) 879-9031 FidoNet Mail: 1:107/132 or 107/222

Some of the boards listed are boards that are up for certain hours only. When my board was time-shared with our business lines at work and PC Pursuit got ahold of our list and passed it out to it's customers, all hell broke loose on our operator at the station. Beware! Time conditions are ussually listed at the end of the entry for the node. Also, because of the PC Pursuit bit, and my yelling and screaming to IFNA and PC Pursuit, IFNA will take a dim view of the nodelist being repackaged. You may want to contact them.
