|
|
WHAT THIS IS:
|
|
|
|
- The 144BBS List is a collection of numbers reported as belonging to
|
|
US BBSes with one or more lines supporting 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.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 16 line Worldgroup system with access
|
|
on your first call to download 144BBS. See the file 144PICK.UP for
|
|
the procedure.
