FactSheet on the Economic Bulletin Board
The EBB is an electronic bulletin board run by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Office of Business Analysis and provides a one-stop source of current
economic information. The EBB contains press releases and statistical
information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of the Census, the
Federal Reserve Board, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of
Treasury and several other Federal Government agencies. A menu-driven system
simplifies the task of locating and using the 2000-plus EBB files.
Three main services are provided on the EBB; reading and downloading bulletins,
reading and downloading files and sending and receiving messages to the EBB
support staff. There is also a utilities section which controls "housekeeping"
tasks. The EBB supports a free, limited-use service for non-subscribers.
GUEST users may access and download bulletins, but not files and may send, but
not receive messages. To sign-on as a GUEST user, dial the EBB and type in the
word "GUEST" when prompted for a user ID. This limited access service allows
you to read and download bulletins on the EBB.
The EBB runs two separate speed services depending on what speed modem you are
using. Both services contain identical information and are only separated due
to modem speed.
300/1200/2400 bps parameters are: No parity; 8 data bits; 1 stop bit; the
fastest transmission speed your modem supports. Dial 202-482-3870. The EBB
supports 32 concurrent normal-speed users.
9600bps parameters are: No parity; 8 data bits; 1 stop bit. The 9600bps
service uses US Robotics Dual Standard HST/V.32 modems. Dial 202-482-2584.
The EBB high-speed service supports six concurrent users.
