Hartford/Manchester Call Areas BBS List: HM950214.ZIP edition posted 02-14-95 ============================================================================== This list is only as good as its grapevine; many thanks to those who feed it and to Jim Bills for its Spacedock "home". - Dan Miller & David Farrington ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU KNOW OF ANY ADDITIONS OR CHANGES, please send them to DAN MILLER at the Spacedock BBS (203-666-4999 or netmail to Fido 1:142/499, CCSO 86:300/499 or RBBSNet 8:909/17) or in the SYSOP142, CT_BBSADS, HASNET or HOWDY message echo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The BBSs listed here were open to the public in the Hartford and/or Manchester local-call area when last verified; those not flagged as status-unknown (?) or down (-) were verified 12-17-94 or later. But, since boards continually open and close, WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK to keep the list current; flagged boards will will soon be presumed closed if no indication of impending return is received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spacedock Bulletin 10, our online-viewable working master list, is updated as changes are verified. HMyymmdd.ZIP published editions are posted initially on the Spacedock (203-666-4999) and in the CBBN file echo; your help in further distributing them is appreciated. See SYSOP distribution info at end of list. ============================================================================== Baud rate codes: Max: 1 = 1200, 2 = 2400, 9 = 9600 or higher Min: . = 2400, : = 9600 BBS Software (SW) codes: AD = Adept LO = Lora PC = PCBoard SB = SuperBBS TF = TeleFinder BX = BBSExpress MG = Magnum QB = QuickBBS SL = SearchLgt TG = Telegard *EB = Excalibur MJ = MajorBBS RB = RBBS-PC SN = StarNet TR = TriBBS EX = Excelsior MX = Maximus RA = RemoteAc SY = Synchronet TU = TurboBoard FC = FirstCls *MH = MediaHost RG = Renegade TA = T.A.G.
