- GENERAL INFORMATION -

For best results when displaying or printing this list, use a 9 or 12 point
monospaced font that supports extended ASCII (ANSI) characters. The
extended character set is necessary to properly display the "line graphics"
contained in this document.

Key to Abbreviations

INET - Internet Access
NET - Networked BBS (Fidonet, etc.)
MSG - Local Message Conferences Only
FILE - File Transfers
GAM - Online Games
TBA - To Be Announced

Systems that offer local, non-networked message conferences are flagged MSG.
BBSs that are also "networked" with other BBSs are flagged NET. BBSs that
offer Internet access in addition to either local message conferences or
networked BBS services, or both, are flagged INET. Check the extended
description for each BBS for detail on scope and services provided.

Unless otherwise noted, all systems are available 24 hours daily, 7 days a
week. All numbers are local to the Denton, Texas, calling area. Numbers
with prefixes of 240, 241, 243, 320, 242, 321, 458 and 648 may also be local
to an extended area including Argyle, Bartonville, Carrollton, Denton, DFW
Airport, Garland, Grapevine, Irving, Justin, Keller, Lake Dallas, Lewisville,
Plano, Ponder, Rowlett, Sanger and Wylie. Unless otherwise noted, all sys-
tems are "dial up" accessible by modem. The SBI list described below is a
comprehensive guide to BBSs and online services that are accessible only
through an Internet Service Provider.

This list is also available by File Request (FREQ) from Fido 1:393/11 as
DT_BBLST.TXT, DENTON.TXT or DENTON anytime except during Zone Mail Hour, or
by download under the same filenames. An archive file, DENTON.ZIP, is also
available. It contains additional items including a list of discontinued
local bulletin boards. The distributed version of the file has the release
date embedded in the filename for easy identification: dtYYMMDD.txt and
dtYYMMDD.zip. This list may be freely distributed as long as it is not
altered in any way and no fees are charged. The list may also be downloaded
from our web page at http://www.chatter.com/~wb/ anytime.

Other lists available by File Request or download include BIGD.ZIP (DFW area),
USBBS185.ZIP, and SBI0497.ZIP (a list of Telnet accessible BBSs). All are
also viewable in the "GFile" area on The Mezzanine by hitting G at the main
menu prompt, then selecting one of the following folders:

- CORRECTIONS OR UPDATES -
--------------------------

Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these BBS listings,
no guarantees are expressed or implied. Information of this type is a
moving target and subject to change at anytime. Listings were current as of
the dates shown for each system. The extended descriptive information, when
present, is provided by the respective system operators and is included in
the list as a courtesy. Updates are released as changes occur. As the few
remaining dialup BBSs in Denton have been very stable for the last several
years, these listings are verified only occasionally these days.

Updates and corrections to the Denton Area BBS List are invited and should
be netmailed to Walter Bowen, Fido 1:393/11 or E-mailed to [email protected]
or [email protected] on the Internet or in Denton to Walter Bowen on The
Mezzanine BBS (565-9165). Thanks, as always, for your help in keeping this
information current!
