From a variety of sources, here's a list of BBSs that might be helpful to
|
|
telcom-capable writers. Where known, comments concerning each are added. For
|
|
most, set your modem program for eight data bits, no parity, and one stop bit,
|
|
except where noted. ANSI or VT-100 terminal emulation will work almost
|
|
everywhere.
