This list may only be publicly distributed in its original form. I take no responsibility for inaccurate information or any claims that may arise by the use of this list. Users use this list at their own risk. Numbers are not guaranteed to work. In other words, if it don’t work, it ain’t my fault! I am not responsible for hidden charges or costs on any of the BBSs. Most BBSs are set to 8-N-1. If you don’t know what that means, you probably shouldn’t be using this list. This is simply a huge compilation of the lists from different BBS around the US. If anyone has questions about this list, please E-mail me at ZFried, but don’t ask for help with any of the numbers, because most of them I haven’t even tried. The BIG BBS List only accepts public and/or semi-public numbers. I am not showing favoritism when I print more about one BBS than another - I just don’t have more information for some of them. The BBSs are listed in no special order. Another thing - I wouldn’t print this out unless you’re prepared to load your printer with 41 pages! Just keep it as a reference on disk. You may see a BBS listed twice by accident. Again, I am showing no favoritism.
Many thanks to those who compiled parts of the list!
A note to Sysops: If you want your BBS listed here, e-mail me and we will negotiate how I will check you out modem-wise.

I am not asking for any shareware fee for this list, but I am a high school student and $180 in debt at the moment, so if you use this list, how about helping me out a little?
