There are many different types of Engineering Bulletin Boards, just as
there are many different types of engineers.
There are three types of boards listed in this directory:
- Engineering-related BBSs,
- Product support boards, and
- Other BBS resources of use to engineers.
Unless otherwise noted, all entries operate 24 hours a day, and can
be accessed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (8N1) at full
duplex.

===========================================================================
A friend (whom I have never met) once found his similar effort in a
book in a bookstore, with no credit given to him, or any indication of
how to keep the list going. I hope that this copyright effort is a waste
of time, and evidence of paranoia. :-)
I started doing this because of the difficulty I had in finding these
systems. I'd like to find more and let other engineers know about them.
The number one goal of this file is to get engineers talking to each
other.
