Black Bag BBS
======================
Current as of 1/25/89
The following list is a list of medical, fire/EMS, science,
alcohol, AIDS and disABILITY related bulletin board systems. All have
been checked within the last twenty five days. You are granted the right
to distribute the list in electronic form as long as it remains unaltered.
Please remember how much time and effort goes into this and abide by this
simple yet unenforcable request.
A lot has changed since the last list. An unusual number of boards went
down, but it is clear many will be in this for a long time. Once again, I
have removed systems which do not focus primarily on one of the above topics.
Sorry about this but the list is just too big and keeps growing.
Printed copies of the list may be obtained from Computer News
for Physicians at the address below. I would like to thank them for their help
in defraying some of the costs of compiling this list. Additions, corrections
and deletions should be directed to me at one of the addresses below. By all
means have fun and contribute to the boards you call. For info about the
meaning of listed codes please see the end of the list. If you are reading
this ... why not take it and upload it to some of your favorite BBS.
Enjoy,
Edward Del Grosso M.D.

2) The numbers following some of the board names are network addresses
for those boards participating in the International Fido Network.
3) As many of you know I have been an advocate of PC Pursuit as a means
of low cost communications for computer owners. The numbers marked with
an '*' can be accessed using this service. Unfortunately, Telenet, which
owns PC Pursuit has instituted a new rate structure which is no longer viable
(in my opinion). Starting with two lists from now they will be no longer
be included here as I will be cancelling my account.
4) The address for a printed copy of this list is :

6) Any one with info on any medical computing user groups is encouraged
to forward that information to me at one of the above addresses.
7) A new medical echo has been established called MEDLIT by Richard Kaplan of
Medical Software Exchange (1:135/3). Contact Richard via netmail for more
information.
8) One of this first people to explore the use of BBS as a means of educating
people about medical problems was Bob Kovach of (125/31). He died Jan 13,
1989, nearly 2 1/2 years after he was diagnosed as having AIDS. Bob founded
the Recovery BBS in San Francisco and was its sysop until, because his
illness, he turned it over to another sysop. He co-founded and was moderator
of the RECOVERY Echo; co-founded and was moderator of the AIDS/ARC Echo.
While I did not know Bob personally I did know him via BBS and through his
good deeds and desire to help those in need. He will be sorely missed.
10) If you have read this far you can be of a great help. This list is
updated every 3 months. The next update will be released on April 25,1989.
It has made great penetration but as I call these boards I see that many have
lists that are many months to years old. You can be of great service to me and
the BBS community in general if you would take the time and effort to upload
this list to BBS in your area.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Sysops:
As always I hope you will take the time to contact me and contribute
numbers to the list.... still going strong after 4 years.
To all sysops. I strongly urge those of you who are not already
members to join the International Fido Net. I am sure most of you have heard
of it, but in case you haven't it is a system by which bulletin boards
across the country exchange message traffic. Access is free and software
to interface your current system to it is probably available to you at no
cost locally. The following is a list of national medical conferences of which
I am aware of and participate in.
Alcoholism and Drug Abuse National Echo
AIDS National Discussion
Child Abuse National Echo
Disabled Interests National Echo
Fire/EMS National Echomail
Grand Rounds National Medical Discussion
Holistic Health National Forum
Medical Ethics National Echo
National Psychiatry Echo
National AA meeting
Physics National Echomail
Physicians Only National Conference
Spinal Injury National Echo
Social Services National Echo
Science National Echomail
Many are available with only a local call.
Finally, if you run one of the boards in this list you can be of great
help in keeping it up to date by maintaining my password even though I may
call only every two to three months. By doing so you will help save me a
great deal of time and money. Thanks !!!
