THIS IS A LIST OF computer bulletin boards, now numbering more than 1000
entries, throughout Southern California. It may be freely copied, distributed,
or compressed, provided that the contents are not altered. You may also dis-
tribute sections of the List if this heading is included. This List is up-
dated each month. Please send any additions, deletions, updates or payment
with all relevant information via modem (updates to existing listings only)
or U.S. mail (new entries) to:
Mike's SOCAL Corner BBS
1716 McKenzie Avenue
Long Beach, California 90805-2550
(310)422-7942 Bulletin Board System
THIS LIST CONTAINS modem telephone numbers in area codes 213, 310,
619, 714, 805, 818, 909, as well as a few toll-free 800 numbers and a local
900 toll number.
SOME BOARDS MAY REQUIRE club membership, product purchase, or other qualificat-
ion. A closed, private board usually requires a referral from a current member.
Fee boards (indicated with a "$" in the List), if they are of the Multi-Chat
variety, often offer a free trial subscription. Support bulletin board systems
give priority to customers, but many are open to the general public as well.
A LISTING OF BBS Software and Echomail Network abbreviations follows the phone
list, and additional information about SOCAL.LiST follows that.

"DESCRIPTION" COLUMN NET ABBREVIATIONS:
NETS: Around the world, groups of public bulletin boards and other
computer systems have loosely organized themselves into "networks" that
share or "echo" messages among their members through periodic mail
package distribution. Mail packages for most of these networks are relayed
once per night, with long distance phone charges paid by each member
system. Each network sponsors a collection of special-interest "conferences"
or discussion forums. Each member BBS may select from this list, and any
user may join the discussion. Most network member systems ask their users
to install shareware "off-line" message-reading software. Software
recommendations, local and network rules, and important suggestions may
often be found in a Bulletins section available from the Main menu of
participating systems.
