FOREWORD:
^^^^^^^^^
    The following list has been compiled with the help of the
    wonderfully generous who associate with InterNet or UseNet.
    I owe them many thanks and please continue to send information.
    The amount of mail I recieve is enormous, and I appreciate the
    responses.

    I have a few things to say about these BBS's in general.  So bear
    with me, or skip ahead, but do take the time to read this.

    1.    These BBS's are provided as a service to anyone
        on Internet.  Not just you.  This means that you should
        try not to dominate these sites
        by staying logged in continuously or repeatedly trying to
        gain access.
    2.    While you may not directly pay for these services
        someone does.  These bbs's are run on someone else's
        computer, which means that someone else pays to keep it
        running, provide space and access, and fix problems.
    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 downloading 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 modems 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.NSFNET-RELAY.TELNET or
    PAD.UK.AC.NSFNET-RELAY.TELNET.  Likewise, users of internet can
    get to JANET by telnet SUN.NSF.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.

SERVICES
^^^^^^^^
    The following is a list of useful services that most
    BBS'ers are interested in.  I have not checked any of
    these except Archie.  If you have more info about
    these or if you know of other to add, please mail
    me: [e-mail].  I will make the
    changes and post the list again.  Enjoy. :-)

    --        archie.doc.ic.ac.uk
    --        cs.huji.ac.il

    --        Archie is the easiest, fastest, and most convienent
    --        way to find files available via anonymous FTP.  The
    --        archie-client sites are sites that are used for
    --        archie front ends to query info, the
    --        quiche.cs.mcgill.ca is the original archie site, and
    --        you can telnet to and use this archie without a client,
    --        although the client is much simpler to use and
    --        easier on the server.

    --        binary files will not be compressed unless 'compress'

    --        128.2.54.2

    --        Internet Relay Chat access.  Not all IRC commands are

    --        which you join to join a discussion, or you can create
    --        your own to discuss whatever you like.  These sessions

    --        I am very impressed with this service,
    --        I have figured out the problem.  The
    --        name listing did not include the port
    --        number.  This should clear up any problems
    --        with this site.

    --        Also, if this site hangs at you commands
    --        try hitting enter again.  it seems to work
    --        fine other than that.

    --        any problems should be reported to
