There are many different types of Engineering Bulletin Boards, just as
there are many different types of engineers.
There are three types of boards listed in this directory:
- Engineering-related BBSs,
- Product support boards, and
- Other BBS resources of use to engineers.
Unless otherwise noted, all entries operate 24 hours a day, and can
be accessed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (8N1) at full
duplex.

requirements for use of the board, and there are a couple of game doors
to occupy the users (Scrabble). The board is affiliated with the
American Circuit Design Association, a fledgling group being run from
the Washington, DC area. I intend to restrict the available files to
those of interest to the engineering community and a few utilities that
are necessary for file decompression, viewing, etc. Thank you

Primarily intended as a support BBS for our customers, we are also
trying to accumulate software relating to concrete and construction.
Also looking for data files (i.e. zip codes, SIC code, anything that
might be of use in a database format). Expecially like to find database
of printer control codes for lots of different printers. You need to
put R after phone number for reverse modem detection. If that doesnn't
work, try ";ATA" and wait about 20 seconds for confirmation.

XYZ Technologies is a new company (12/91) that does CNC Engraving of
CAD files. The board was established to let customers download their
CAD files to be engraved which would allow 24 hour access and eliminate
the mail delivery delays. We can accept ACAD DWG files or any HPGL plot
file from other CAD s-ware. If you are interested in the CAD Engraving
then download a copy of the EGRVINFO.TXT file. It explains everything
you need to know about setting up a file to be engraved.
Since we use ACAD and so do most of our customers we are constantly
adding ACAD related files and info to the board. Eventually this will
become the local ACAD board. See You Soon>>>> Jim Fillmore

A friend (whom I have never met) once found his similar effort in a
book in a bookstore, with no credit given to him, or any indication of
how to keep the list going. I hope that this copyright effort is a waste
of time, and evidence of paranoia. :-)
I started doing this because of the difficulty I had in finding these
systems. I'd like to find more, and let other engineers know about them.
The number one goal of this file is to get engineers talking to each
other.
