NOTES:
1. Call-back systems are those where a computer and real people
share the same telephone line. To contact the people, just
dial & let the phone ring until you get an answer. To
contact the computer: (1) dial, (2) let the phone ring
once, (3) hang up just before the 2nd ring, & (4) re-dial.
2. Note that the 212A/Vadic 1200 baud modems may not be
compatable with yours. Most of the above systems are using
Vadic 3451 Triple modems, compatable with both Bell and
Vadic Standard. Sign on the first time at 300 baud to
determine the system capabilities. Note also that PMMI's
can sometimes be used over 300 baud with 1200 baud systems.
PMMI baud rates are: 110, 300, 450, 600, 710 and are indicated
above as "1-7".
3. Whether a program exchange system is accessible by an
alternative long-distance service should be considered when
planning to modem over long programs. Charges on ITT Longer
Distance, MCI, Sprint and Western Union Metrofone are 50-60%
of Ma Bell's regular long distance rates.
4. Total on-line disk capacity is shown for reference. Check the
system documentation for exact details when logging on.
5. All times listed are local time.
6. NEW SYSOPS: When messaging Jud or Kim with information about
your system, please include the following data:
a. Your system's name (& BBS type)
(examples: Joe Blow's RBBS, Home Town RCPM/CBBS)
b. Your system's area code and phone number
c. Your name
d. Call back/no call back
e. Hours of operation
f. Baud rates supported
g. Alternative long distance services that can call you
(Note that you don't have to subscribe to any, just list those that
can call your system. If you don't know, call the local MCI, SPRINT
or ITT offices or their 800 numbers and ask 'em.)
h. Your total on-line storage capacity, (KB or MB)
i. Your location, (city, state or area)
j. Special features or interests, hardware notes, etc.
It will be of great help if you can upload the information in a file
with a format similar to the listings above.
