In this issue of DFW ONLINE MAGAZINE, I wanted to begin by
saluting an un-sung hero of the DFW BBS community. His name:
David Buckert. If there is one single "King of the Uploaders" in
Dallas-Fort Worth, it is--without question--David Buckert.
In David's case, however, I am not talking about someone who
indiscriminately uploads everything under the sun to maintain his
DL/UL ratio on BBS'es. David consistently uploads quality
shareware and--in most instances--it is "new" quality shareware.
I will modestly admit that there are very few sysops who
spend as much time and money obtaining new files as I do; yet,
David often shames me by obtaining a hard-to-get file before I
even know it's out.
Chances are, if you download files, you often can thank
David Buckert for the file. And, if he's so good at getting new
files, why doesn't he start up his own board?
When David first discovered BBS'es, he says, "I looked
around and there were so many good BBSes I didn't see a need for
another one so I started doing what I do now."
What he does now is upload, upload, upload.
According to David, he uploads files to about 30 boards
every night, using ROBOCOMM, which interfaces with PCBoards and
Wildcat. As he admits, "The mix is heavily tainted by what I
Like, but I try to send what the various boards specialize in."
So, the next time you peruse the file area of a Wildcat or
PCBoard BBS, look for the name "David Buckert" and then say a
little "Thanks, David." Better yet, leave him a message.
because this gentleman deserves our thanks for unselfishly
providing Dallas-Fort Worth with a ton of quality shareware every
month.
Now, if I can only figure out how to get ROBOCOMM to
interface with TBBS. . . .
It's been quite a while since I checked into Jonathan
McGuirr's U.S.S.INVERNESS BBS. WOW! Jonathan has been busy.
System now runs on Wildcat, with 3 lines, CD/ROM, Fido, PGNET,
and TON nets. He has, without question, the BEST organized
message conference area in the Metroplex. And he's still adding!
Coming soon to U.S.S. INVERNESS BBS: 600 new message areas
and more nets; Another CD/Rom; File areas for Macintosh and
Amiga; BBS Callers Digest, Online Mall for PC Hardware; and 7
more lines. This one should be in your dialer: 214-245-9315.
New Numbers for Steve Andrews's STAR BASE 147 & 147-II as of
June 4:
StarBase 147: (214)826-9375
StarBase 147-II: (214)826-9376
If you call, Kevin Martin's E-LINK and get a "disconnected
message," don't fret. Kevin's not down, just moving. Hopefully,
his calls will be forwarded. Just keep trying. And a second
node will go online soon. In case you missed it, Kevin now has
two (2) CD/ROMs online: Night Owl #8 and Phoenix #. The best
news yet: Kevin joins the growing ranks of sysops who say NO
MORE DL/UL RATIOS.

And a New Number for Larry Mundy's WINNET LIBRARY BBS>
Effective, as you read this, (214)541-0201). This BBS is totally
dedicated to Windows files and echos and it is still FREE!. No
verification--no callback--no questionaire. I like it!
Rod Porter's THE CROSS has switched from TriBBS to WildCat.
System will also now accept calls up to 14.4. The number:
(214)414-8614.
Garry Grosse has hadded 5 new high speed modems to 32-line
CHRYSALIS. He is also now an authorized PC-SIG BBS, which means
he just added the PC-SIG CD/ROM that contains over 3700 programs.
Another ROBO board tossed in the towel recently. Mike
Kaylor's SHEER PASSION is now running on EZY (He was the old
ENDEAVOR BBS). Two nodes: 214-240-2069 and 214-240-5238. Look
for 3 CD/ROMS to go online soon. And the board still maintains
HAM and SATELLITE files.
Here's one you might have overlooked: David Harrison's
WANDERLAND BBS. You'll find CIAnet, Time of Chaos, TradeWar
2002, Solar Realm, STar Fight, STack-Em, Death Mission, and other
online games. The number: 258-1037.
FLYER'S DOMAIN BBS is "Alive and Well." For some reason, I
thought Frank Laczko's fine PCB BBS was gone but it's still
around (as it has been for about 6 years). Stumbled onto it by
accident and lucky for me. Lucky for you--if you call: 80
message areas, 28 file areas (including files for many
communications programs), and three (3) high speed nodes. The
numbers: (214) 390-7540 / 390-9273 / 390-9473. This one is well
worth the call.
Beverly Elson never let's Mark get any rest on BLUES CAFE.
She keeps him busy adding, adding, and adding. Latest additions:
A fine Reading Room, USA TODAY, Online Shopping Mall, FAX door,
and 900 subscription service. I think I counted 12 CD/ROMs last
time I visited, 3 nodes, and 6 nets. It's a busy, busy system.
The BLUES CAFE: (214)660-8613).
At the risk of sounding insensitive, let me preface the following
with: THE AIDS CHATLINE is not a gay oriented BBS! John Pfeifer sysops
this system which has carved a comfortable little niche for itself in
the DFW online community. The primary information focus is geared to
AIDS but it is a full-service, general interest system. You'll find
a variety of message conferences, on-line games, files, and perhaps
the largest and finest collection of AIDS related Text Files in the
Metroplex. You might want to check this out, even if only to D/L
the text files. The number: 214-256-5586/
"Never Judge A Book By Its Cover"
or
A BBS By Its Name
I have to continually remind myself of the above. Case in
point: For several months I've received invitations to call a
Dallas BBS and for several months I kept putting the number
aside. Why? The name of the BBS just sort of turned me off.
Not because I'm prudish but because I assumed any BBS with a name
like KoZmiK KaTHouSe wasn't worth my time. WRONG! This BBS is
worth the call. Sysop Brian Erickson has as fine a board as
you'll find anywhere. There's something for everyone! Are you a
gamer? You'll find 67 online games (many multinode games). A
message person? You'll find VirtualNet, Fido, PGNet, DoorNET,
SGANet, RPGnet, and Coming Soon: DataNet. Brian is a little lite
in the file area but you'll find "quality" instead of "quantity."
Novice BBS'ers will appreciate the opening screen that allows you
a choice of 9 system menus: Select the one you're most familiar
with(i.e. Wildcat, VBBS, Random Access, etc.)
Check this one out. Just overlook the name <grin>:
The KoZmiK KaTHouSe - 2 nodes (14.4 supported) - 394-8021 / 394-
4837.
Chuck Murphy, the 32-line TEXAS TALK has expanded tremendously
over the past few months. Chuck advises he has added 6 CD/ROMs,
OnLine Fax capability for users, The Guttenberg Project, and the
increasingly popular Corbin 900 subscription service. System is
now powered by a 486DX 50mhz unite LAN(ed) to a 386DX 33mhz.
TEXAS TALK: Metro 817-654-3814 or 214-497-9100.
Al Beck's BLUES BROTHER'S BBS (214-487-3400) reminds
everyone that access is still FREE to his BBS, which offers more
than 6,000 files--including a 65 file area CD/Rom--online games,
and a Reading Room. System accepts calls up to 14.4.
I don't think we ever got around to publicly reviwing THE
HOGARD SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS BBS in Grand Prairie, and I apologize.
Chuck Hogard runs a fine system and well worth a call. By the
time you read this, Chuck's BBS should be flying the ASP APPROVED
Banner, which ensures--of course--quality, functional files.
Give him a call at (214)641-6292.
FAUNUS BBS is now TOWN CRYER BBS. Dan Borotkanics sysops
this board which boasts a modest message and file area (with good
text files). CBV allows instant access. The number: (214)288-
3310.
We're losing a fine BBS. Hughes Glantzberg is leaving the
area and moving to Austin. Going with him is HUGHES' PowerBBS.
Hughes went online back in the latter part of '92 and quickly
established a loyal and fairly large userbase. Those of you
accustomed to calling his system might want to drop by and wish
him well. He will still be accessing BBS America, so you can
leave private E-Mail for him there.

│ June COMPUTER CURRENTS │
└──────────────────────────────┘
The Best Kept Secret in Texas:
. . .and Other Stuff!
It's the best kept secret in Texas. Austin has discovered
the modem. Someone down in Capitol Town woke up one morning and
said, "Hey, we could put up a BBS and people all over the state
could call and obtain information with their computer and
modem." So, they put up a BBS. Then another. And still
another. But, they forgot to tell us about it.
Whoever first had the idea of establishing a state operated
BBS should be enshrined in the Texas BBS Hall of Fame. It's an
idea we've all dreamed about and now it's an idea that is a
reality. Texas is online and online Big Time with world class
operations.
WINDOW ON STATE GOVERNMENT BBS, is operated by the Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Major BBS, running on
Galacticom software, is free and operates on twelve (12) lines
with four 14.4 and eight 9600 modems--all lines accessible by a
1-800 number. Full access is granted on the first call and the
system is extremely User-Friendly.
Drew Scherz, Sysop, says the system provides "A wide
variety of economic and tax information, state spending by
category and year, state revenue by source and year, news
releases, and Comptroller job postings (when the statewide job
freeze is lifted).
The system also maintains an up-to-date file on winning
lottery numbers. Not only will you find the latest winning
numbers online, you'll find the winning numbers from all
previous lotteries and an analysis of the numbers(i.e how many
times a number has been drawn, etc.).
Gabriel Zavala, Co-Sysop, says the system "averages in the
neighborhood of 200 calls per day." He adds, "Since the first
of the year, the lottery file has been the most popular
download. It has been downloaded 8,000 times."
However, despite the popularity of the Lottery file, the
most important resources available on the WINDOW ON STATE
GOVERNMENT BBS are the tax related files and information.
Everything you might possibly want to know about Texas taxes and
revenues is available for online viewing and download. A
complete index to Tax Forms can be downloaded, along with rules,
publications, policy newsletters, Information Hotline numbers,
and the Rules for Texas Taxes.
The BBS provides a wealth of economic data. With the touch
of a key, users can access Total sales by city, county, and
state. Revenue and expenditure tables are available, along with
state employment data.
But the BBS gets even better. One of the menu features
offers "Dial-Out to Other Government BBS'es. Yep! While you're
online with WINDOW ON STATE GOVERNMENT BBS, select the "Dial-
Out" feature and connect with three other Austin based Texas
bulletin board systems: PARKS AND WILDLIFE BBS, TEXAS
MARKETPLACE BBS, and the TEXAS CANCER DATA CENTER BBS.
The PARKS AND WILDLIFE BBS is an outdoorsman's dream (or is
that outdoorsperson's dream--I get confused). Sysop Paul Hope
advises that the system is dedicated to providing Texans with
"Hunting and fishing information and general outdoor recreation.
The Major BBS, running on Galacticom software, operates on
four lines--three 9600 modems and one 2400--and may be accessed
from WINDOW ON STATE GOVERNMENT BBS free (via the 1-800 number)
or through (512)389-4430, (512)389-4431, (512)389-4308, and
(512)389-4307. On your first call, use the 389-4430 line to set
up your account. Full access is granted on first call.
At the moment, file selection is somewhat limited but it is
obvious the system managers are working to increase the number
of files. However, the files that are listed are excellent and
available for online browsing or download. More than 173 text
files are available on birds, game and fish cookery, freshwater
fish, Texas mammals, endangered Texas species, and a complete
listing (with description) of all Texas State parks.
THE TEXAS MARKETPLACE BBS, operated by the Texas Department
of Commerce, provides international, national, and state
business opportunity leads, a Texas Company Directory, Minority
Business Directory, Women-Owned Business Directory, procurement
leads, business news briefs, and complete information on Texas
Grants and Aid. The system maintains a database of 35,000 Texas
manufacturers and business service providers and users may
conduct an online "keyword" search for information.
The system simply bulges with business information. There
are ten (10) distinct forums or departments available and each
is loaded with data for the small and large business. One
particular area caught my eye, "The Legislative Alert." In this
area you'll find information relating to Texas House and Senate
Bills pertaining to Small Business.
You'll also find information concerning the state's Waste
Exchange System, state licensing and permits, and a "variety of
business news, calendar items, and economic data." There is a
Rural Resource Guide, Information on "How To Sell to the State
of Texas," Tourism and Travel data, and International Trade
leads, Missions, and Trade Shows.
The system requires a $10.00 registration fee and there is
a possibility additional line charges will be added in
September. However, at the moment, you can browse the system
free. To log on, set your communications software to VT100
emulation, dial 1-800-446-8676, type "Texis" at the select
prompt, use "Guest" as your login and "guest" as your password.
Guest access entitles you to basic browsing only and you
are limited to what you can see or download. However, if you
like what you see and want to become a registered user, you need
to establish a system account via the department's voice line:
1-800-888-0511. Once registered, you'll receive a documentation
manual and communications software.
Tom Lineham is the Director of the TEXAS MARKETPLACE
program (read that as Sysop) and according to Tom, "We have
approximately 1100 registered users and we average about 40
calls per day."
Not too impressive, considering the amount and quality of
information available on TEXAS MARKETPLACE, and the fact they've
been online since April, 1992. Obviously, a more aggressive
marketing plan is needed. And, if they don't mind a little
constructive criticism, a more user-friendly environment would
encourage more call backs and registrations.
I'll warn you in advance that the BBS is a UNIX based
system and, therefore, is not overly user-friendly but you'll
get the hang of it. (Just keep your eye on the menu bar at the
top of your screen.)
THE TEXAS MARKETPLACE BBS is truly a valuable business
resource and the Texas Department of Commerce is to be commended
for going online with the system.
THE TEXAS CANCER DATA CENTER BBS is operated by the Texas
Cancer Council and provides online information concerning Texas
demographics and cancer statistics, mammography services,
physicians who treat cancer patients, acute and general care
hospitals, hospices, cancer prevention and early detection
programs, home health agencies, Texas Cancer Council Projects,
and other information.
The system is accessible throughout Texas via 1-800-788-
9293. VT100 or VT102 emulation is necessary for access. Full
access on first call.

NEW METROPLEX BBS'es
GARLAND HAPPENINGS: 214-271-2755. Sysop: Maurice Hale.
Sometimes when you call a system, you immediately get a "good"
feeling about it. This is what I received when I called
Maurice's board. Running on Maximus with a 14.4K v.32 bis, the
BBS offers free access, free Apogee Game downloads, 20+
conferences, online games, and a promising file area. Lots of
room for growth with this one. Give it a call.
GHOSTCOMM BBS: (214)980-1908. Sysop: Steve Barnett.
Running on WildCat with a 14.4, system recently went online. At
the moment, only 2 games: BRE and BBS Bowl. Small file and
message area. Instant access.
TLHINGAN JUHGO: (214)243-8412. Sysops: Patty and Les Chelf.
Don't ask me what the name means? I counted 6 games (including
BRE) and a modest file area. Instant access and your access is
automatically increased with your message count: i.e. every
message equals a 1k upload. Possible to obtain up to 210 minutes
a day with messages and/or file uploads.
MIDNIGHT ANGEL EXPRESS: (214)243-0378. Sysop: Elizabeth
Christian. Running on ProBoard, system just went online with 6
games, 20 message areas, and 21 file areas. Christian plans to
add Fido soon. Message areas run from "Cross Stitching" to
"Guns" to "Knitting" to "Ham Radio." How's that for a mix.
Give Christian a call and help her get underway.
