The Golly! UKBB List of nearly 800 UK BBs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the Golly! UK Bulletin Board List.
All the UK bulletin boards and Viewdata boards that I'm aware of
as of 31 December 1990 are listed here.
If you are new to comms and want to find bulletin boards to try
or if you are an experienced user who enjoys calling new boards
this list will make your life easier.
The information on each board is as follows:
BOARD NAME & LOCATION : The BB's title and geographic location
AREA : A broader measure of location, eg. SE
TELEPHONE : Data telephone number to dial for access
SYSOP : Name of the individual operating the BB
BB SOFTWARE : Type of host software in use, eg. Opus
SPEEDS SUPPORTED : CCITT codes for baud rates available (see below)
WEEKDAY HRS : Opening hours - Monday to Friday
WEEKEND HRS : Opening hours - Saturday & Sunday
OTHER INFORMATION : Special Interest Groups, etc
FORMAT : Databits-Parity-Stopbits, eg. 8-N-1
VIEWDATA : Indicates Viewdata emulation only
NETMAIL : FidoNet or OtherNet reference for Email
The CCITT codes are translated into speeds as follows -
V21 : 300 bits per second (bps)
V22 : 1200 bps
V22b : 2400 bps
V23 : 1200 bps receive /75 bps send
V23v : 1200 bps receive /75 bps send with Viewdata
V32 : 9600 bps* (International V32 standard)
HST : 9600 bps* (Courier HST standard)
PEP : 9600 bps* (Dowty Trailblazer standard)
* Unfortunately the three 9600 bps modem standards are not compatible.
For example, an HST modem will only 'talk' to another HST at 9600.
It will connect with other modems only at 300, 1200 or 2400.
The latest HST modems are capable of 14400 bps connections and
a new V32bis standard will allow 14400 bps in full duplex mode.
Also available from the source at the end of this file are:
UKBBREGB.ZIP - the full list broken into regional segments
UKBBTELB.ZIP - dialling directory for Telix v3.xx
UKBBGT_B.ZIP - dialling directory for GT-Power v15.5x
UKBBCOMB.ZIP - dialling directory for {Commo} v4.0
A request ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, I don't want your money! The UKBBxxxx Directories need to
be kept up to date. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor
the financial resources to call all of the bulletin boards
listed on a regular basis. I, therefore, rely on people like
you to inform me of any changes which you come across.
If you find any information which will help me to keep the list
up to date, please let me know.
And finally ...?

Oh yes, any comments on UKBBxxxx or update information should be
addressed to me:

This board is, of course, included in UKBBPRNB.PRN.
Alternatively, leave me a message in the FidoNet BBS-NEWS
Echomail conference on any board which carries that area.
