Directory of Computerized Bulletin-Board Systems and Similar Things. All can be reached by telephone using an ASCII terminal and a Bell 103 modem. Set the terminal for 300 baud, 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit; "mark" parity will mostly work, but various systems require other parity settings. Many also support 110 baud (with 2 stop bits). The logon procedure for most is: dial number, hit carriage return once or twice, then follow instructions. All are free to anyone who calls, unlike Arpanet which is restricted and The Source which costs money. Please do not call except during the indicated hours; many are peoples' or computer stores' voice phones the rest of the time. This listing is sorted by area code so that one can locate the numbers within a geographical area easily (consult the front pages of any telephone directory to determine the desired area codes). In order to pack maximum information onto minimum paper, the city, state, name of service, etc, are not shown. 201 457-0893n9 688-7117 753-1225 772-5619n7 835-7228 874-6833 891-7441 968-1074 202 337-4694 635-5730n1 203 348-6353rc 205 945-1489 206 244-5438 246-8983 334-7394 482-5134ew 524-0203 546-6239 723-3282 937-0444 209 638-6392 212 448-6576rc 997-2186 213 276-4276 316-5706 329-3715 340-0135rc 349-5728 360-6332 370-3160es 394-1505es 395-1592 396-3905 424-3509 428-4718 459-3177 459-6400 566-8035 631-3186 673-2206 675-8803 679-0591rc 787-4004 795-3788 799-1632rc 799-6514 821-7369 826-0325rc 828-3400 843-5390 921-2111ew 214 288-4859 634-2668rc 634-2775 641-8759 216 745-7855rc 217 429-5505 301 585-7172 593-3042 303 759-2625 789-0936rc 305 261-3639es 556-0805 689-3234 772-4444 821-7401 862-6917 989-9647 309 694-6531rc 312 255-6489es 269-8083 296-7486 337-6631 420-7995 528-7141 545-8086rc 622-9609 767-0202 782-9751ew 964-7768ew 313 288-0335rc 326-6050 357-1422rc 465-9531 477-4471 484-0732rc 569-2063 588-7054n3 314 394-7233 838-7784dn 952-2110 316 746-2078 319 353-6528ew 557-9618 404 394-4220rc 733-3461 790-8614 939-1520rc 939-8429 953-0723ew 405 528-8009 408 241-1956rc 263-0248n2 263-9650n2 296-5799n5 414 727-3637e7 415 348-2139rc 348-2396 493-7691rc 527-0400rc 573-8768 593-1200 647-9524rc 661-0705 792-8406 821-1714 851-3453 858-2840dn 948-1474nw 417 862-7852 502 245-8288es 503 646-5510rc 795-3788 512 657-0779rc 513 874-2283 516 938-9043 602 866-0258ew 955-1486 956-5612 957-4428rc 957-9282rc 996-9709rc 604 687-2640rc 607 754-5571rc 609 665-8881 983-5970 612 929-8966rc 614 272-2759rc 649-7097 615 254-9193rc 617 354-4682ew 431-1699 491-0875 649-7097rc 692-3973 864-3819rc 702 826-7234 873-9491ew 703 281-2125rc 281-2222n4 620-4990 734-1387 750-0930n6 893-9474 978-7561 707 448-9055ew 713 233-7943 654-0759 693-8080ew 977-7019 714 287-9379n8 449-5689rc 463-0461 526-3687rc 537-7913rc 565-0961 571-5550 582-9557es 730-1206 739-0711ew 751-1422rc 772-8868 898-1984 952-2110rc 962-7979rc 963-7222 801 466-1737ew 753-6800 802 748-9089 803 279-5392 771-0922 804 340-5246rc 805 484-9904rc 682-7876 964-4115n6 813 223-7688 816 861-7040rc 931-3135 817 855-3916 923-0009rc 901 276-8196rc 362-2222 761-4743ew 904 243-1257 243-8565 913 362-6398 764-1520 782-5115 915 584-5393 918 224-5347 Key: blank = system hours unknown to us dn = system is down rc = 24 hours ('round the clock) nw = nights (11PM - 6AM) and weekends es = evenings and Sundays ew = evenings and weekends e7 = evenings 7 days a week "Evenings" means at least 9PM - 6AM. n1 = type ^C I CR HELP WACS n2 = even parity n3 = call, let it ring once, call back; 24 hours n4 = ASCII or Baudot n5 = 8AM - 12PM n6 = answers after 4th ring n7 = Sat-Wed 9-12PM ONLY!
