800BBS3.LST Toll-Free WATS 800# BBS list by Susan Ots, Roseburg, Oregon Edition 3.1 Compiled 1/5/93, (Edition 3.0 Compiled 10/28/92) Revision of Previous Edition 2 10/25/92 Total BBSs=180, Total 800#s=195 Special thanks to Femaster on the Midnight Caller BBS in Michigan for the original bulk of this list, as well as the initial inspiration; and to Mr. Bane on the Hacker's Haven BBS, Mike Flaminio: Sysop of the Midnight Caller BBS, Michael Long in South Carolina, Francois Landry in Quebec, an unknown person in Illinois, another unknown somewhere, and the San Francisco PC Users Group, all of whose 800# lists have provided me with additional information in compiling my list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edition 3 (3.0) of this list was never officially released, since I took a six week vacation just before I had a chance to put the finishing touches on it. I added some more info. and some new BBSs when I came back, so I've decided to just call it Edition 3.1, since I did not re-verify any of the entries extant from Edition 3.0. I have verified all the information in each entry wherever possible. Exceptions are numbers that are out of my calling area, wrong numbers, calls that couldn't be completed as dialed, and disconnected numbers. I have noted these exceptions by listing them in separate sections. Also, I had previously verified the information in some of the now disconnected entries when they were working. Others numbers were repeatedly busy, some never answered, some I had trouble connecting, or my terminal would lock up, or there were other problems. I have noted these exceptions in the form of phone number codes (see chart below). Also, with a few exceptions, I have not tried any of the local # equivalents of the 800#s; these #s, as well as some voice customer service #s, are provided for the sake of completeness. I have given the network links' local access #s that are nearest to my location (Roseburg, Oregon), since I verified some entries through these numbers. The dates of verification or attempted verification for this edition of the list are given as entry codes (see chart below). I have included 900 area code numbers in this list since they are also toll-free, as far as phone company charges. The only charges for 900# calls are access fees set by the BBS, which are charged automatically to the caller's phone bill; the caller's payment to the phone company is then transferred to the BBS. These charges vary considerably between different 900# services: some charge rates per call, some per minute or other time block, some have both per call and time charges. No 900# service is free of access fees. I have heard of only one 900# BBS so far, there may be others out there. I have a Hayes-compatible modem capable of operating at 0 to 300 baud - Bell 103/CCITT V.21, 600 baud - CCITT V.22, 1200 baud - Bell 212A/CCITT V.22/ V.22bis, and 2400 baud - CCITT V.22bis. All operations Asynchronous only. Which means that some of the numbers below that are connected to mainframe computers operating synchronously I can't connect to. All numbers have been tested at 2400 baud; if a number will only connect at a lower baud rate, such as 1200 or 300, that rate has been used instead. No checking of POSSIBLE transmission at lower speeds has been made, only the MAXIMUM possible. In other words, if a number connects at 2400, I haven't tried 1200 to see if that will work. Generally, numbers will work at all baud rates up to the maximum listed except rates LOWER than 1200; these lower rates don't always work. If you have a way of connecting or logging-in to the numbers that I haven't been able to, including the limited access numbers that are out of my calling area, the synchronous numbers, and any that I've had problems with (see phone number codes), please do so and let me know the results. If you figure out any of the unidentified BBSs, or discover any new numbers, including direct 800 #s for some of the Information Services, Networks, or Links, or if you have any additional information at all to add to this list, again please let me hear of it. You may contact me by leaving me mail (or a file if you have a lot of info) on any of the following BBSs: Umpqua Community College BBS (503) 440-4672 Roseburg Area Data Exchange (503) 440-1958 Intermittent Connection (503) 344-9838 The Midnight Caller (906) 774-9947 Future versions of this list will include the names and cities (or at least just cities) of all contributors of new information that went into that particular edition. If you want your name to be given you must explicitly tell me. If you don't explicitly inform me that you want your name to be included I will NOT list your name, but I will list your city. And if you got this list from a BBS, please tell me its name & phone and I will send the next version of this list to it. The latest version of this list will be regularly posted to the four BBSs aforementioned. This list can only be kept current (and thus useful to all) by YOUR input! Comments, suggestions, changes, etc. welcome. Please pass this list around on as many BBSs as you can. If each person were to upload it to just ONE other BBS, the list would spread quite well. This is how information is spread folks! There are hundreds-of-thousands of Computer Bulletin Boards in this country, and tons in other countries as well. Computer BBSs are the communication medium of the future (and present!) Every Joe seems to have a home computer and quite a lot of them have modems and quite a lot of those with a computer and modem actually contact Bulletin Boards. I wouldn't underestimate the communication power of this medium. (The only problem I see now is the current trend of a lot of users to just logon, download files, and logoff. You never hear of them otherwise, through mail or even uploads. Who ARE all these people that just take take take files and don't even say hi? Most all Sysops LIKE personal communications from their users. Even just to say "Hi, here's a list of 800# BBSs to include in your file directory"; all Sysops appreciate a "Hi, I like your BBS" once in a while.) P.S.: I realize the term "BBS" or "Bulletin Board Service" is not always apt in referring to some of the numbers below. Some of them are "on-line services", some are network access lines such as mail services or long- distance access, some are just terminal links to a company's server computer! But I've used "BBS" as a short catch-all abbreviation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENTRY CODES (occur just before BBS name): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > new entry since Edition 2 * entry revised since Edition 2 0 entry verified as of 10/27/92 (Edition 3.0) 1 entry verified as of 12/27/92 (Edition 3.1) (all other entries verified as of 10/20/92 (Edition 2)) # this BBS is listed with working numbers in another section ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHONE NUMBER CODES (occur just before phone #): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % not available from my calling area (Roseburg, Oregon) %% all circuits busy ! busy !! no answer + no carrier ++ improper carrier ~ can't connect after carrier received (no handshake) (possibly synchro. xmn) ~~ disconnects (hangs up) after connect (no data received) & no data received on screen after connect && no further data received on screen after logon/title @ scrambled or unintelligible data (possibly synchronous xmn) @@ xmt/rcv problems after logon ^ I have not verified this number (all others I have verified) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBS CODES (occur just after phone #): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terminals: TTY TTY terminal type 52 VT52 terminal type 100 VT100 terminal type 101 VT101 terminal type 102 VT102 terminal type 100+ VT100, VT200, VT300 series terminal types VVV various terminal types ??? unknown terminal type AN supports and uses ANSI graphics and color AV supports and uses AVATAR graphics and color Modem settings: 1 110 baud only (terminal must call with this setting) 3 300 baud only (terminal must call with this setting) 12 1200 baud maximum 24 2400 baud maximum 96 9600 baud maximum 14 14400 baud maximum 38 38400 baud maximum BB maximum baud unknown, but >9600 (a + after the baud code means possibly higher) H half duplex (all others are full duplex) 7E1 7 bits, even parity, 1 stop bit (all others are 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop) S synchronous xmn (all others are asynchronous) Other info: $$ user fees/other costs [see also separate sections] (a + after the $$ code means some areas free (info, demos, directory, etc.)) GV government BBS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General BBSs: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *1 Ada 9X (800-Ada9x-25) 232-9925 VVV:AN:96 Local # ^ 301-459-8939 Ada Information Clearinghouse (AdaIC), IIT Research Institute Info concerning the U.S. Department of Defense's Ada 83 programming language revision process Lanham, MD Voice=800-AdaIC-11 (800-232-4211) or 703-685-1477 ASIC (AT&T STU-III Information Center) 331-1774 VVV:AN:AV:24 Support for AT&T Stu-III products *0 Automated GSA Relay Federal TDD Directory (General Services Administration Multi-Line Remote DAN System) 877-8845 VVV:3:GV Limited hours Answers with 300 baud TDD data first, then gives a carrier.
