07/16/94 UPDATE
|
|
|
|
|
|
While I used to actuall y call and verify each and every bbs number in
|
|
the State of Texas, this ran my phone bill into the thousands each month,
|
|
and it became harder and harder to keep up with who was down/moved/new.
|
|
|
|
This listing is a realistic approach to get current phone numbers into
|
|
the hands of modem owners, both now and in the future. While longer
|
|
lists have been distributed and published, none have been truly current
|
|
by the time most interested modem owners get to one. As a result, most
|
|
such published lists remain completely useless, and full of disconnected
|
|
numbers. Such misinformation could even be considered harrassment by
|
|
the individuals who answer the phone during the early A.M., not knowing
|
|
their number used to be a modem service.
|
|
|
|
The simple remedy to this problem rests below. Every name and number
|
|
in this listing refers to the person who KEEPS BBS LISTS for a given
|
|
area or city in Texas. You may contact this person for the most updated
|
|
listing to be offered for the area.
|
|
|
|
Each system below is described verbatim in a statement by its Sysop
|
|
(System Operator). All credit to listings should go to each listkeeper
|
|
who takes time to research and edit for the benefit of others.

The Rag Enterprises BBS was founded in the spirit of the modem user. After
|
|
calling BBS's myself for years, I was frustrated with unfriendly SysOps and
|
|
BBS's that were hard to navigate. So I decided to start my own BBS based on
|
|
ease of use and friendliness. The Rag Enterprises BBS focuses on Windows and
|
|
OS/2 support while maintaining a BBS that everyone can use. From over twenty
|
|
online games to 250 megs of files, RagBBS has something for everyone, and if
|
|
you don't see what you are looking for, we will get it for you.

CTSA Unlimited BBS was started in 1985 as the flagship bbs for Central Texas
|
|
Sysop Association (CTSA). CTSA was formed as a non-profit organization with
|
|
a constitution and by-laws spelling out the purpose of clean legal
|
|
communications with Sysops and Users. We wanted to meet at least once a
|
|
month to meet the people we were in CHAT with on a regualr basis. One of our
|
|
first projects was to organize a monthly BBS LIST so our users could get
|
|
current phone numbers updated every month. We adopted the format
|
|
CTSAMMYY.BBS (ie. CTSA0393.BBS). As FIDONET developed we formed a local mail
|
|
conference for the Austin area (BBSINFO) that has become very active and
|
|
furnishes us with super input on new boards and recent changes. Through the
|
|
years we have had many list managers who put in many hours to the BBS LIST.
|
|
Ree Rubel of City Limits bbs currently maintains our list and as a group we
|
|
occaisionally make a mass effort to verify the data is correct. Our members
|
|
have written a bbs list converter (ABL2DIAL.ZIP) that takes our monthly list
|
|
and converts it to several comm program dialing directories. Our first bbs
|
|
machine was personally donated by Michael Dell of Dell Computers!

PCBoard Second Sanctum has hosted the original, oldest continuous bbs lists
|
|
for the D/FW area, as well as the State of Texas, since the early 80's. This
|
|
service will continue as long as it is needed by Texas Modem Users. Often
|
|
imitiated, never equalled. Primary concern of the lists are keeping as
|
|
absolutely updated as possible, and focusing on legitimate and commercial
|
|
bulletin boards (rather than those promoting questionable activities).
|
|
|
|
Second Sanctum caters to Medical/Legal/Business/Technical PROFESSIONALS,
|
|
FAMILY-Interest, Religious interests, underground topics, Private adult fun,
|
|
and more. We are more interested in exchanging information than acting as a
|
|
file base; our files are meant to support the conferences. No games period.
|
|
One month free trial to check our services, messages and files. We ARE
|
|
"The BBS for those who have outgrown the ordinary".
|
|
|
|
Second Sanctum Communications has been setting up professional BBS services
|
|
and systems to the most prominent names of business in North Texas. Let us
|
|
show you how an online service can increase YOUR productivity.
