The files in the Retsof Texas AC 512 Austin Area BBS list are changed
|
|
daily. Later uploads get new versions. I add a `*' code if I have
|
|
verified that local boards have the list available for download. The
|
|
outer filename changes monthly and ranges from RETSOF01.ZIP to
|
|
RETSOF12.ZIP. RETSOF12 is superseded by RETSOF01 the following year.
|
|
My new scheme for Camel's Back lists is A512ymmx.ZIP to gain more exposure.
|
|
Get real. Do not use any BBSlist from anywhere that is more than
|
|
90 days old. They degrade about 1% per day and many boards are gone.
|
|
|
|
The most recent monthly BBS list is available to long distance callers
|
|
without the need of going through a registration process. Camel's
|
|
Back BBS has 5 high speed lines available at 1-512-243-0077. This
|
|
number is listed in the BBS Lister section of Boardwatch Magazine.
|
|
Further refreshes during the month will be found in the new file
|
|
section as RETSyydd.ZIP. Please change the outer name to RETSOFmm.ZIP
|
|
(or whatever compression method) (if you put the refreshed file on your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
It is distributed automatically by file TIC from Balcones Fault Line to
|
|
most Austin hubs and then to most nodes and points in net 382, mass
|
|
e-mailed to VBBS boards in Area Code 512, posted to alt.bbs.lists,
|
|
sent to Houston for the Internet Gopher, forwarded to the Fidonet
|
|
Filebone by 1:382/1 for worldwide Filebone distribution, is published in
|
|
Austin Tech-Connected monthly newpaper and Texas Computing Magazine,
|
|
and is uploaded by me to other netted and independent
|
|
IBM/Macintosh/Amiga/Atari/Apple boards in the Austin Wide Area Exchange.
|
|
Text or g-file versions are on many boards for online capture or download,
|
|
including After Hours 32 line chat board at 1-512-320-1650.
|
|
|
|
If you don't get one, it's your own fault.
|
|
Sending up to 100 pages of multiple files in this BBS list by FAX
|
|
is not practical, so forget it.
|
|
|
|
I call bulletin boards in the Austin Wide Area Exchange and am registered
|
|
on most of the 300 local systems. It takes a while to get around to all of
|
|
them, so respond in one of the BBS echos if you have something changing.
|
|
Some of sysops want to advertise, others wait for me to dig them out, but
|
|
few say anything when they get tired of running a BBS.
|
|
|
|
I include information for Corpus Christi,
|
|
Victoria, Kingsville, Georgetown, and elsewhere in the area code.
|
|
(Independent non-netted BBS information from outside the Austin
|
|
area is greatly appreciated, since bulletin boards are so volatile,
|
|
and calls within the area code are expensive. This information should
|
|
be provided every 2-3 months, so I will not think that the BBS went down.)
|
|
If your information is accurate in Fidonet, WWIVnet, or Virtualnet
|
|
nodelists, I will find it weekly. However, if you are a mail-only node,
|
|
I will not list your BBS unless you provide an additional public number
|
|
for human callers.
|
|
|
|
I ONLY WANT TEXAS AREA CODE 512, not anything else.
|
|
Out-of-Austin callers may call the Texas Computing BBS at 1-800-890-2038.
|
|
This is a free BBS and a free call. Leave your BBS info there.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change your listing or add some specialties,
|
|
post a summary on a wide area echo available in Austin, send e-mail
|
|
to John Foster on most Fidonet boards in 1:382/__, e-mail
|
|
Retsof on most Austin WWIV or VBBS boards,
|
|
post an advertising message to Fidonet Austin BBSINFO and/or
|
|
WWIV BBS info or Virtual net BBS info echos (RECOMMENDED!
|
|
so callers will see also)
|
|
send an internet message to john.foster@camel.com, call voice
|
|
to 1-512-346-8253 or mail to
|
|
RETSOFtware BBSlist Dept.

AUSTIN TX 78731-1320
|
|
|
|
I get many callers who for some reason cannot use an answering machine
|
|
or interact with a real person, so having a BBS online for users that
|
|
have never called one is out of the question.
