Thanks for downloading the Mohawk Valley Bulletin Board Listing (MVBB)!
MVBB was created to give the information that we consider very important
to the bbs user. MVBB is the FIRST bbs list of the Rome/Utica, NY, area to
incorporate color, Fido addresses, information concerning online cd-roms, the
amount of bbs hard drive, whether adult access is available, whether RBBS-Net
is carried, whether other nets are carried, whether bbses have many doors...
on top of the "norm" such as the bbs name, number, SysOp, bps rate including
proprietary protocals, type of software, whether or not the board is long
distance from one locality to another. MVBB also comes with more files which
give more information such as local exchanges from certain localities, etc.
all of which is given to you on one nicely laid-out sheet of paper.
MVBB comes in 3 forms:
1 - Color ANSI form
2 - B/W ASCII form (for printers, or those that don't have ANSI on)
3 - B/W TEXT form (LOW ASCII - for those who don't have 8-bit
characters.)
The information in MVBB is updated as often as felt necessary (usually
monthly), and it is obtained (the info) from either the System Operator or
a bulletin.
NOTE - MVBB ONLY includes Systems that fulfill the following:
1) It must be a local call for Rome and/or Utica residents, and be
operational 24hrs a day (excluding events).
or
2) It must be networked to a main system, which must fulfill #1.
If there are any mistakes in the information, or if you'd like to have
your board added you can contact Michael Streeter at 1:2609/14.1. Use
APPLICAT.TXT. PLEASE, Sysops only.
