Article #2910 (2943 is last): From: tak2@Isis.MsState.Edu (Thomas A. Kreeger) Newsgroups: alt.bbs.internet Subject: Zamfield's Internet BBS List Date: Wed Mar 4 22:09:50 1992 Sorry about the test site listing, I didn't say who the person responsible was, I have fixed this and here's the update. %%%%% Zamfield`s Wonderfully Incomplete, Complete Internet BBS List %%%%%% ============================================================================== Publishing Info: 3/4/92, with the wonderful textedit publishing system. Availablity: FTP or download at Wuarchive.wustl.edu in /pub. E-mail request at Zamfield@Dune.EE.MsState.Edu Posted on alt.bbs.internet, every so often. ============================================================================== FOREWORD: ^^^^^^^^^ The folling list has been compiled with the help of the wonderfully generous crowd 'o folks who associate with InterNet or UseNet. I owe them many thanks and please keep the info coming. I, and many others have a few things to say about these BBS's in general. So bear with me, or skip ahead, but do take a look later. 1). These BBS's are provided as a service to anyone on Internet. Not just you. 2). While you may not directly pay for these services someone does. 3). You are a guest, and please keep that in mind while using these BBS's Okay, that wasn't so bad after all. Most of these BBS`s offer services unique to BBS'ing. Some offer small scale versions of standard Internet sevices. Keep in mind that mail or articles posted on BBS's does not reach everyone in the world, and if you can get to UseNet, you will problably find better responses. Most of the files on these BBS`s can be found by anonymous FTP, so don't tie up the system with files if you have FTP. Do be considerate on these BBS`s, some people aren't using Telnet or Rlogin to get to these, some people still dial numbers with modem thingies at there homes. :-) I'm not going to say anymore, because you can figure most of this out for yourselves. Enjoy the list and write back to tell me about these BBS`s. I want to add as much info to these as possible. A little abstract, such as services, will be great. For users of JANET (UK), you may access these bbs's through first connecting to UK.AC.NFSNET-RELAY.TELNET or PAD.UK.AC.NFSNET-RELAY.TELNET. Likewise, users of internet can get to JANET by telnet SUN.NFS.AC.UK, login as janet. Something New!!!!! all sites that are prefixed with =========== and sufixed with the same thing are sites that are down and will probably be removed from this list. such as ========== Mars Hotel mars.ee.msstate.edu -- down now ========== just something new to help clear any misconceptions up. ============================================================================== 3/4/92 Zamfield@Dune.EE.MsState.Edu NAME ADDRESS LOGIN BBS Software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ test site 128.2.111.40 -- I am working on starting a new bbs that is avaible -- on the internet.
