WHAT THIS IS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The 144BBS List is a collection of numbers reported as belonging to US
|
||
|
|
BBSes with one or more lines supporting v.32, v.32bis, v.fast class and
|
||
|
|
v.34 CONNECTs.
|
||
|
|
- 144BBS List is compiled and maintained by Ken Sukimoto, SysOp of the
|
||
|
|
DownTown BBS as a service to DownTown BBS subscribers and other callers and
|
||
|
|
is published on an irregular basis although we try to have a new release on
|
||
|
|
the first of each month.
|
||
|
|
- 144BBS List is also available as a comma delimited file for those of you
|
||
|
|
using BBS doors for online display and/or in need of info for database
|
||
|
|
applications. This file is distributed as 144BBS.DB rather than 144BBS.TXT.
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WHAT THIS ISN'T:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- This is not intended to be an advertising list. With the way BBS's change,
|
||
|
|
there is no way I or most anyone else could keep up with software/hardware
|
||
|
|
changes, doorways added/deleted, specialties of the BBS and other features
|
||
|
|
that make a BBS unique. This would also make 144BBS even larger than it
|
||
|
|
currently is and just one more opportunity to be inaccurate.
|
||
|
|
- Although it is the goal, 144BBS is not comprehensive. I am quite sure there
|
||
|
|
are a lot of BBS's that have been omitted - rather than attempt to guess at
|
||
|
|
BBS names/numbers/cities and modem types, I am depending on reliable
|
||
|
|
sources to submit these missing BBS's and accurate information about them.
|
||

COPYRIGHT AND DISTRIBUTION:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Since the content of 144BBS is for the most part public knowledge, no
|
||
|
|
formal copyright for content is applied for.
|
||
|
|
- I'm not even sure that the name "144BBS" isn't already copyrighted; if it
|
||
|
|
isn't, then that is the only copyright claimed.
|
||
|
|
- Rather than legalese and restrictions, I request common courtesy in the
|
||
|
|
distribution of 144BBS List.
|
||
|
|
- No fee should be charged for 144BBS List other than normal system access
|
||
|
|
requirements.

||

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 144BBS List is dedicated to the SysOps who install high speed modems,
|
||
|
|
enabling users to access systems at higher and higher speeds. It is also
|
||
|
|
dedicated to these same users who motivated the SysOps to install these
|
||
|
|
modems through their contributions; material, inspirational and otherwise.
|
||
|
|
- Thanks go to the SysOps, Users and Administrators of U'NI Net, SmartNet,
|
||
|
|
MajorNet and Intelec for their help and the use of their networks to
|
||
|
|
gather information for this list.

NAMING CONVENTION & MISCELLANEA:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- When distributing this list, do not rename 144BBS.DB or 144BBS.TXT!
|
||
|
|
- Most BBSes don't like unarchived text files, so if archived, name the
|
||
|
|
archive "144DB-a#.ext" or "144BBSa#" where:
|
||
|
|
a = alpha designator - A=Jan; B=Feb; C=Mar; L=Dec
|
||
|
|
# = the last number of the year; 1994 = 4, 19955 = 5
|
||
|
|
ext = whatever extension the archiving program defaults to.
|
||
|
|
The December, 1994 release will be named 144BBSL4.ZIP (using PKZIP to
|
||
|
|
archive) as an example of the naming convention.
|
||
|
|
- Please note - many systems listed are multi-line or multi-node and their
|
||
|
|
inclusion on this list does not mean the number listed has that particular
|
||
|
|
setup available. Some BBSes are subscription and reserve the high speed
|
||
|
|
lines for subscribers only.
|
||
|
|
- The 144BBS archives on The DownTown BBS and those directly uploaded by KEN
|
||
|
|
SUKIMOTO are archived using the PKZIP -AV authencity validation option.
|
||
|
|
When extracted, the -AV information should display The Downtown BBS
|
||
|
|
name and the # AIN871 registration.
|
||
|
|
- The DownTown BBS is currently a 6 line MajorBBS system with access on your
|
||
|
|
first call to download 144BBS. See the file 144PICK.UP for the procedure.
