The Public Domain Software Library Online BBS listing is published
every month and is made available, FREE, on many bbs's throughout
the United States. The content of the bbs listing is believed to be
accurate but there are no guarantees whatsover that the bbs systems
listed here are functional or in fact are what the listing describes
them as. Please feel free to call our bbs at 516-938-6722 and leave
a message to the SYSOP regarding any changes, additions or deletions
to the bbs listing as you see fit.
Issue maintenance: 37 bbs's added
04/89 189 bbs's killed
716 bbs's modified
Special thanks to the following people for their assistance
in this months issue of "TheList":
Harry Barton John Meany Bob Sumner
Dave Barber (Thanks again Dave !)
The above named people went out of their way to provide us with
updates and extensive additions to our bbs listing. Can YOU also
help us ??. If you could at least help to verify BBS numbers
in your area code YOU could help make this the BEST bbs list ever.
This issue special info :
The April 1989 listing contains over 2,900 BBS's and is
believed to be as accurate as possible. However, BBS systems
are known to come and go VERY quickly so you may find a small
percentage of the listed systems as down or changed. IF you
encounter a BBS that you wish to report as down, PLEASE only
refer to the FULL PHONE NUMBER of the system.
We are working very hard right now to eliminate unwanted bbs
numbers such as Commodore, Atari, Apple and the like. Since
we doubt users of those types of computers ever see "TheList"
there is no point in listing them, it only makes for a larger
bbs listing that is of no use to the PC/MS-DOS community. We
will however be retaining bbs numbers of CP/M systems and
unique or commercial bbs numbers.
We hope to have eliminated most of the unwanted numbers by
the May 1989 issue.
Since many sysops and users have asked us to, we have added two
additional items to our "Type Codes" legend. Where possible we
have determined if a bbs has either a US Robotics 9600 baud or
an Hayes V Series 9600 baud modem. For those bbs systems that we
could figure out we have changed the "9" to either a "U" for USR
or a "V" for Hayes V series. We think we have changed just over
650 bbs systems in our listing with this modification. If your
bbs is currently tagged with the "9" and you have either the USR
or Hayes V modems, please dial our bbs and leave a message for
the sysop to change "TheList" to reflect this.
SPECIAL NOTICE !!!!! -
"TheList" is now available in Procomm Plus, Telix and Qmodem
libraries of telephone directories that can be immediatly
used in either for dialing. We have taken the time to convert
the complete bbs listing so that you may easily dial up
ANY of the listed bbs's without having to type in each
individual number. The converted bbs listing is broken
up into about 13 phone directories and is contained
in a ZIP file that is now being distributed as PROC0489.ZIP
(Procomm plus), TELX0489.ZIP (Telix) or QMOD0489.ZIP (Qmodem).
These dialing directories are available on a few select bbs
systems around the country and on our bbs at 516-938-6722.
Either of the dialing directories are created with a few items
preset that you should be aware of:
1) ALL numbers are treated as long distance and have
a prefix of "1" attached to them for local carrier
notification of long distance dialing.
2) ALL numbers are set at 2400 baud, 8 data, 1 stop and
NO parity.
3) Terminal type is set at ANSI BBS.
By using phone directory covertors such as CVTFON you can
further modify parameters in our dialing directories in
a GLOBAL modify or replace mode. We have set up the dialing
directories with the above presets since we have found that
these are what the majority of users would have them at anyway.
Please call our bbs at 516-938-6722 for more info, the latest updates
for our bbs listing and other help or info.
