ECHOmail Conferences
====================
Many Tacoma area BBS's are linked with a network of thousands of
systems around the world to provide you with access to conferences on all
sorts of specialized topics. Entering a comment locally may bring a reply
or several from just about anywhere that computers and phone lines exist.
Listed below are the conferences echoed locally. Some may be viewable by
request only, so if you can't find the one you want, send the appropriate
SYStem OPerator a note requesting it.
Note: Internet/Usenet newsgroups are also available on several bbs's,
but are so numerous and subject to change that to ennumerate them here
would be near impossible and probably triple the size of this list!
Download the files LISTSERV.ZIP and NEWSGRPS.ZIP from Amocat BBS for a
list of avilable Internet stuff.

Online Games
============
Following is a listing of online games, also known as "doors" which are
available to be played while logged on to some of the Tacoma area BBS's.
This is by no means an all-inclusive listing, though we'd like to see it
become so in the future. If you run into games on these or other boards,
please encourage the appropriate SYStem OPerators to drop me a note so I
can add to the completeness and accuracy of this listing. Thanks!

Dialing Information
===================
The BBS's listed here are located in exchanges local to all Tacoma
callers unless otherwise noted. Local to Tacoma prefixes are:
Area code 206
207, 209, 219, 229, 265, 272, 279, 280, 305, 307, 309, 312, 318, 370, 381,
383, 415, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 502, 530, 531, 535, 536, 537, 539, 549,
552, 564, 565, 566, 572, 581, 582, 584, 588, 589, 591, 593, 594, 596, 597,
627, 751, 752, 756, 759, 761, 770, 840, 841, 843, 845, 846, 847, 848, 851,
857, 858, 862, 863, 884, 891, 906, 912, 922, 924, 925, 926, 927, 952, 964,
967, 968, 984.
Area code 360 (bbs's in this area code are denoted with an asterisk after
the phone number. Tacomans need only dial the 7 digits)
446, 458, 832, 893, 894, 897.
Some of the above prefixes may not be local to Puyallup/Sumner and other
outlying areas.
Those of you with 922, 924 - 927, and 952 prefixes can also call some
BBS's located in the Auburn and Des Moines areas of South King County.
I've personally called and verified the existence of every board on this
list. All were working as of May. 31. No attempt has been made to rate
the quality of these boards as different folks look for different things
in a BBS. Some of the features have been noted, however, and your
suggestions as to other data you'd like included in the Features section
of future editions would be most appreciated.
Other Washington BBS Lists
==========================
LOTTCA Listing (Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, Thurston County Area) is a feature

COMMENTS
========
Welcome to the Tacoma Area BBS List and Newsletter, better known as TABBS.
This list is not the work of any group, club or organization. No monetary
or other compensation is requested, nor accepted for its use. To the best
of my ability, it is a complete listing of Tacoma folks who answer their
phone lines via modem to socialize with old friends and meet new ones, but
prefer to communicate by keyboard rather than by mouth.
Suggestions on what you'd like to see in future editions of TABBS are
always welcomed, as are any additions or corrections you might find to this
listing. These can be sent via modem to the Amocat BBS, where you can leave
mail to yours truly as either SYSOP or Rich Langsford (the software cares
not which). If for some reason you have no modem, or worse yet no computer
you can also ring my voice line during reasonable hours (9am-10pm would
be just dandy) and leave a message with my friendly answering machine if
I'm not around (566-1144).
You are invited to make this listing available to others in whole
or in part, but please try to purge any copies older than a couple months
and leave the Amocat number at the top so folks will know where to submit
changes. The list is verified the last week of the month and a new one is
available for download from Amocat just about the first day of the new
month in both .ZIP and .TXT formats. The TABBS files are suffixed with a
three letter month abbreviation, e.g. TABBSJUN.TXT for June. It is
fervently hoped that by the time the filename is used again in 12
months, I won't be finding last year's models still sitting around on
any BBS's!
Please delete all copies of TABBS*.* other than TABBSJUN.* as they are
now obsolete...thanks!
--Rich Langsford
Special thanks to the Tacoma area modem users and sysops whose updates
have helped maintain the accuracy of this listing!
