96INTRO.TXT
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
WHAT THIS IS:
|
|
|
|
- The 96LIST is a collection of numbers reported as belonging to US BBSes
|
|
with one or more lines supporting CONNECT speeds of 9600bps or higher.
|
|
- 96LIST 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.
|
|
- As of the 12/1/91 release, 96LIST is also available as a comma delimited
|
|
file to save space and deter easy, unauthorized modification. This file is
|
|
distributed as 96-USA.DB rather than 96-USA.TXT.
|
|
- As of the 1/1/93 release, 96LIST will be the name of the archive
|
|
containing 96-USA.TXT. Canadian listings are now handled by a Canadian
|
|
list keeper. Look for 96CDA.??? for this new list.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 96LIST even larger than it
|
|
currently is and just one more opportunity to be inaccurate.
|
|
- Although it is the goal, 96LIST 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 96LIST is for the most part public knowledge, no
|
|
formal copyright for content is applied for.
|
|
- I'm not even sure that the name "96LIST" 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 96LIST.
|
|
- No fee should be charged for 96LIST other than normal system access
|
|
requirements.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- 96LIST 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 96-USA.DB or 96-USA.TXT!
|
|
- Most BBSes don't like unarchived text files, so if archived, name the
|
|
archive "96DBmmyy.ext" where:
|
|
mm = the numeric designator for the month; Jan = 01, Dec = 12
|
|
yy = the last 2 numbers of the year; 1993 = 93, 1994 = 94
|
|
ext = whatever extension the archiving program defaults to.
|
|
The December, 1993 release would be named 96DB1293.ZIP (using PKZIP to
|
|
archive) as an example of the naming convention.
|
|
- The naming convention for the ASCII version archived would be:
|
|
"96LISTa#.ext" where:
|
|
a = alpha designator - A=Jan; B=Feb; C=Mar; L=Dec
|
|
# = the last number of the year; 1993 = 3, 1994 = 4
|
|
ext = whatever extension the archiving program defaults to.
|
|
The December, 1993 release will be named 96LISTL3.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 DownTown BBS is such an example).
|
|
- The DownTown BBS is currently a 4 line MajorBBS system with access on your
|
|
first call to download 96LIST. See the file 96PICKUP.TXT for the procedure.
