Editors Soapbox!:

  Dear Chicagoland BBS'ers:

    This will be the last edition of the Chicagoland BBS List I will
    do, since I next week will move to San Jose, California to take a
    Linux development position with Yggdrasil Computing, Inc.  Phill
    Congleton, who has been coordinating the List team, will take
    over as List Editor, and the official BBS for the List is going
    to be Wolf's Den.  It has been a pleasure serving you, once more.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    FidoNet Sysops: this list is available for file request from:

    FidoNet 1:115/673  Wolf's Den

    The filename is CBBSmmyy.EXT where mm = month, yy = year,
    EXT = ZIP or NAM (for ASCII) (i.e. CBBS0594.ZIP, CBBS0594.NAM)
    or use the magic-name CBBSLIST to get the ZIP.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Just a few friendly reminders:

    1. The date presented is _not_ when a board went online but when
       it was first listed here.  A blank means it was first listed
       before February 1989.

    2. Boards marked (A), (B) ... are DIFFERENT boards with the same
       name.  A repeated name without letter is a multinode board.

    3. The operation time codes change since often only one or two
       systems use the same code.  One code may change meaning
       from one month to the next, although we try to avoid it.

    4. Please use a recent issue of the List!  I sometimes get
       reports telling me about errors on six months old lists.
       Don't use an outdated list - you may wake somebody up!

    5. When sending in an update/change/add request, please give
       ALL pertinent info.  There is a bulletin on the Wolf's Den
       pertaining to how to submit an update.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    The CBBSlist team needs more people!  We need several dedicated
    individuals who can help us check on the status of the
    always-changing Chicagoland BBS scene.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    On behalf of the Chicagoland BBS List team,

                H. Peter Anvin


What are ZIP files anyway

Q: What do you mean by ".ZIP" file?
A: If you've logged onto a BBS or online system you've probably noticed file names that have the filename extension (last three letters of standard DOS filenames) of ".ZIP", for example "WINGAME.ZIP".

Q: What is a ".ZIP" file really?
A: "ZIP" files are actually what are called compressed files. It is usually a group of files that are used together, but they have been compacted into a minature single "ZIP" file. The utility used to make these small compacted
groups of files was developed by PKWare of Wisconsin and is PKZIP.EXE.

Q: Why are ".ZIP" files used?
A: Some time ago online BBS computer systems made available many files that you could download and use together. Sometimes you needed to download many files that had to be used together, but if you made a mistake and missed a needed file, then none of the files you obtained might run properly... The solution was to group these essential files into a single file to simplify the downloading procedure and to make sure you don't miss an essential file! Since ".ZIP" files are also compressed into significantly smaller files they also download alot faster saving phone bills!

Q: How do I make a ".ZIP" file usable?
A: PKWare not only makes PKZIP.EXE, the utility used to make ZIPs, but they make a utility called PKUNZIP.EXE, that is used to breakout all the files compacted into a single ".ZIP" file! So after you download a ".ZIP" file from an online system you can use PKUNZIP.EXE to extract the files so you can then use them!

Q: How do I get the PKWare ZIP Utilities?
A: Most online BBS systems have available a single file called PKZIP204G.EXE. Just download this file and run it. It will self-extract all the ZIP management utilities and documentation onto your disk drive. This is the shareware version of PKWare's utilities.

Q: Are there any other file compression utilities?
A: Yes, there are many others even though most of the time ZIP utilities are used to make these files. Here is a list of other DOS compression utilities:

filename.ext (extension)      utility
EXAMPLE.ARJ             ARJ.EXE used to extract files from ".ARJ"
EXAMPLE.LZH             LHA.EXE used to extract files from ".LZH"
EXAMPLE.ARC            UNARC.EXE used to extract files from ".ARC"
EXAMPLE.ZOO             ZOO.EXE used to extract files from ".ZOO"

Q: Is PKZIP easy to use in Windows?
A: Well, no PKZIP and PKUNZIP are really made for use in MS-DOS. You can, after installing PKZIP on your disk use a menu shell for these utilities to greatly simplify 'zipping' or 'unzipping' groups of files. The most popular menu shell for MS-Windows is WinZip(tm). You can download all these utilities from Win-dy City Windows(tm) Excalibur free in Chicago by calling 708-595-1894. Most local BBS systems will also have these available!


What are GIF files
What are GIF files?

What is a GIF?

A GIF file, or a file with the '.GIF' filename extension, is a graphics picture file! Originally this file was developed by Compuserve as a standard "Graphics Interchange Format" (GIF) file format. You can view these picture files when you download them on an Excalibur BBS! Just click the 'View GIF while downloading' in your Terminal setup. After you download these files, you may view them offline with popular shareware utilities. Popular utilities for Windows includes Paint Shop Pro(tm) and for DOS you can use a utility called VPIC.EXE!

Special Excalibur GIF Features!

•	Excalibur enables the viewing of GIFs while you are downloading them! Just click the 'View images while downloading' switch in the Excalibur Terminal System Preferences drop down menu!

•	Excalibur permits you to 'Preview' GIF images online! If you click the 'Eye' icon or the 'Preview' button, you will be presented with a minature (NTSC) black and white image on your screen! This takes a few seconds on the host system, so you will have to wait for the image to appear...

•	Excalibur tells you the image's resolution! If you double-click on the GIF file listing you will be given a detail box showing the resolution of the related image.  VGA= 640x400 SuperVGA=800x600 or 1024x850...

•	Excalibur has thumbnail 'preview' images! If you double-click on the filename the detail box will often present you with a 'thumbnail' size image of the GIF. Note: The SYStem OPerator must 'prebuild' these images, so if this has not been done, you will not see a thumbnail image...

Other Image Filetypes!

Other image type files are .BMP(bitmap), .PCX(Macintosh image), TIF... BMP files are most commonly used as Windows Wallpaper and in Windows PaintBrush files and for Windows Clipboard image transfers, for example into word processor documents..

Utilities for Images!

You can convert and alter the sizes and formats of these image files. We highly recommend the Windows utility PainShopPro(tm) mentioned above for these purposes. This utility is available on most BBS systems as shareware.


Modem Terminology

This is a glossary of terms commonly used by telecommunications enthusiasts, as well as words specific to offline mail reading and Bulletin Board Systems. We hope you find the information useful.

ARQ - Automatic Repeat Request. A general term for error control protocols featuring hardware detection and retransmission of defective data. This term is used primarily by US Robotics.

ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Exchange.  A 7-bit binary code representation of letters, numbers and special characters. It is universally supported in computer data transfer.

Asynchronous - Data transmission in which the actual data is preceded by a start bit and followed by a stop bit since the time between transmitted characters varies. Compare Synchronous.

Auto Answer -  The modem feature which enables detection of a ring and answering  without assistance from a program.

Baud Rate - The number of discrete signal events per second occurring on a communications channel. It is often referred to as Bits per second (BPS) which is technically inaccurate but widely accepted.

BBS - Bulletin Board System.

Bit - Binary Digit. A single basic computer signal consisting of a value of 0 or 1, off or on.

Buffer - A memory area used for temporary storage during input/output operations.

Bulletin Board System - A host system, into which callers may dial with their modems to read and send electronic mail, upload and download files, and chat online with other callers.

Byte - A group of Bits acted upon as a group, which may have a readable ASCII value as a letter or number or some other coded meaning to the computer. It is commonly used to refer to 8-bit groups. 1 kilobyte = 1,024 bytes; 64K = 65,536 bytes or characters.

Carrier - A continuous frequency capable of being either modulated or impressed with another information-carrying signal. Carriers are generated and maintained by modems via the transmission lines of  the telephone companies.

Conference - An area of public messages on a Bulletin Board System, usually with a particular topic and, often, a conference host or moderator to guide the discussion. Also called Folder, SIG (for "Special Interest Group") or Echo.

CCITT - A French acronym for the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee. This international organization defines the standards for telephone equipment such as the Bell 212A standard for 1200 baud, CCITT V.22 for 2400 baud and CCITT V.32 for 9600 baud.

CPS - Characters Per Second. A transfer rate estimated from the bit rate and length of each character. If each character is 8 bits long and includes a start and stop bit for Asynchronous transmission, each character needs 10 bits to be sent. At 2400 baud it is transmitted at approximately 240 CPS.

CRC - Cyclical Redundancy Check. An error-detection technique consisting of a cyclic algorithm performed on each "block" of data at the sending and receiving end of the transmission. As each block is received, the CRC value is checked against the CRC value sent along with the block. Many protocols including XMODEM-CRC and ARQ will request a resend until the block is received
correctly.

Download - Receiving a file from a Bulletin Board System, using a terminal program (for example QModem or Excalibur Terminal) and a transfer protocol (for example Zmodem).

DTE - Data Terminal Equipment. The device that is the originator or destination of the data sent by a modem.

DTR - Data Terminal Ready. A signal generated by most modems indicating a connection between the DTE (computer) and the modem. When DTR is "high" the computer is connected.

Data Compression Protocols - Compression of data by the modem allows more information to be  transferred in a shorter time frame. Protocols for data compression include CCITT V.42bis and MNP 5,

Data Transmission Protocols - These are standards for modulation and transmission of data at various speeds. The standards are Bell 103 & V.21 for 300bps, Bell 212A & V.22 for 1200bps, V.22bis for 2400bps, V.32 for         9600bps and V.32 bis for 14,400bps. Proprietary protocols are also used extensively for higher baud rates.

Echomail - Public Message Conferences on a Bulletin Board System which are shared and distributed among other Bulletin Boards as part of an Echomail Network.

Expanded Memory - Extra memory (above 640k) on your XT or AT-compatible computer,  which is installed with an EMS driver, and may be used by some programs to store data.

Extended Memory - Extra memory (above 640k) on your 80286 or 80386 compatible computer. Not normally usable by DOS applications, but may be configured as a virtual drive or a disk cache on an 80286 computer, or as Expanded Memory on an 80386 computer.

Flow Control - A mechanism that compensates for differences in the flow of data to and output from a modem or computer. Either hardware or software can be used for this control to prevent data loss. Hardware flow control using the modem makes use of a buffer to store data to be sent and data received. Flow control is necessary if the Communications port is locked at a higher rate than the connection rate. This is especially important for high speed modems, like 14,400 bps and above, that should almost always be setup for CTS/RTS hardware flow control.

Error Control Protocols - These are various modem-based techniques which check the reliability of characters or blocks of data at a hardware level. Examples include MNP 2-4, V.42

Freeware - Computer software which may be distributed on Bulletin Board Systems, and for which the author requests no license fee or registration fee.

Full Duplex - Signal flow in both directions at the same time. It is sometimes used to refer to the suppression of online LOCAL ECHO and allowing the remote system to provide a REMOTE ECHO.

Half Duplex - Signal flow in both directions, but only one way at a time. It is sometimes used to refer to activation of LOCAL ECHO which causes a copy of sent data to be displayed on the sending display.

Host System - Another name for a Bulletin Board System (BBS)

Internet - A worldwide network of computer systems originally founded for the US Defense Department but is now privatized and in use by some BBS systems for message and file transfers on a global scale.

Local Area Network (LAN) - A group of computers joined with cables and software, allowing hard disks and other devices to be shared among many users.

Mail Door - A subsection of a Bulletin Board System which creates .QWK mail packets for downloading and reading messages offline. Then .REP (reply) packets can be created offline and then uploaded saving online telephone connection costs!

MNP - Microcom Networking Protocol. A set of hardware error protection protocols (MNP levels 1 - 4) and data compression techniques (MNP level 5) developed by Microcom, now in the public domain. It makes use of CRC and retransmission of defective blocks by checking performed within the modem.

Netmail - Private electronic mail which is transmitted by a user calling one Bulletin Board System to another user calling a different Bulletin Board System.

NRAM - Nonvolatile Random Access memory. A user-programmable memory chip whose data is retained when power to the chip is turned off. NRAM is used in many modems to store default settings.

ON/OFF Hook - A descriptive term referring to manually lifting a telephone receiver (taking it OFF Hook) and replacing it (going ON Hook). OFF Hook produces a busy signal on the phone line.

Packer - A program to compress multiple files into a single file, such as PKZIP, ARC or LHARC

Packet - A mail packet (with a .QWK extension) from a host system

Parity - An error detection method used in both communicaions and computer memory checking to determine character validity. Communications now makes use of more efficient "block" checking although parity must still be matched in a communication session for transfer to take place correctly. Host communication in the BBS environment omits parity checking (no parity).

Protocol - A system of rules and procedures governing communications between two devices. File transfer protocols in your communications program refer to a set of rules governing how error checking will be performed on blocks of data.

Public Domain - Computer software on which no copyright exists (usually by a specific statement to that effect by the author), and which may be freely used and distributed.

Remote Echo - A copy of the data being received is returned to the sending system for display on the screen. See Full/Half duplex.

Shareware - Computer software which is distributed on the "Honor System", which may be freely copied and  distributed, but for which a registration fee or payment is required for continued use beyond an initial evaluation period.

SysOp - The SYStem OPerator of a Bulletin Board System. The person responsible for setting up and maintaining the BBS. (CoSysop usually helps the SysOP...)

Thread - A group of BBS messages and replies linked and sorted by topic.

Unpacker - A program to uncompress a file from a Packer like PKUNZIP, UNARC...etc.

Upload - To transfer a file from your computer to another computer, using your terminal program (for example Qmodem) and a transfer protocol (for example Zmodem)

V.21 - CCITT standard for modem communications at 300bps. Modems made in the US follow the Bell 103 standard.

V.22 - CCITT standard for modem communications at 1200bps, compatible with the Bell 212A standard used in the US and Canada.

V.22 bis - CCITT standard for modem communications at 2400bps. It includes automatic fallback to 1200bps and compatibility with Bell 212A and V.22 modems.

V.23 - CCITT standard for modem communications at 1200bps with a 75bps back channel. It is used in the United Kingdom.

V.32 - CCITT standard for modem communications at 4800 and 9600bps. It includes automatic fallback to 4800 when line quality is poor.

V.32 bis - CCITT standard for modem communications at 14400bps with automatic fallback to 12000, 9600, 7200 and 4800bps. As line quality improves communications speed can also be increased to the next higher rate.

V.42 - CCITT standard for modem communications that defines negotiation for LAPM error control. V.42 also includes support for MNP error correction protocol levels 1 - 4.

V.42 bis - CCITT extension of V.42 that adds data compression to the V.42 correction protocols.
