Any reply would help me a bunch.

         I was wondering whether anyone had a reasonably up to date list of BBS in Massachusetts. I've found a couple but they are all 3 years old and I find 
 myself dialing endless lists of disconnected numbers.

                                         If you've got any info, please
                                         contact me at

Can anyone recommend a service that will give me email access and

code?  Netcom doesn't have a local number, quake, while in the 818
area code is in sylmar and is a toll call, and dial-n-cerf, according
to PDIAL is *extremely* expensive.  I do not need most of the features
available at sites like netcom and dial-n-cerf, just email and 
usenet.

Any ideas?

Well, the directory is: 

/x/files/uniboard  

Also, both modems support V.32bis, and if you want to get listing
of all files available - grab /x/files/ls-lR.Z

I liked the part about the 3 places on earth were all of the
data gets stored.  One was in the middle of nowhere, with no
possibility of the communications bandwidth required.

People who make things like this up know enough to describe 
the scary things, but they don't know enough about the 
topic (in this case, communications) to realize that the 
things that they describe, while possible on an individual
or small scall, just don't scale up into these huge plots.

The bandwidth of all of the phone conversations that happen
to be going on at once in the US alone is unimaginable.  One 
minute of that traffic would be about a years processing for
the largest computing complex (customer built for that job
mind you) that exists.  At that level, it is a safe bet that
nobody is rolling tape on the entire bandwidth of the worlds
communications networks.

think it was good, then you pay for the ticket.  That is what some seem to 
be saying about the software they are pirating.  It has lots of bugs, so
I shouldn't pay for it relates to the movie was bad, so I shouldn't pay for it.

Today two fixes for UniBoard 1.10 have been released:

a) a new bbs executable (release 1.10a) fixes two problems:
   1) the fsced module eating lots of CPU time
   2) an ioctl(TCSETAF) call that was causing trouble on some machines
b) a new bbsmaild executable (release 2.01) fixes one problem:
   1) mail originated from mailing lists that does not have the recipient
      address in any of the 'Cc:' and 'To:' fields is now correctly delivered
      even if the user name in the address is all lower or upper case.

These fixes are available on the support site (see .sig) and will be uploaded
to the US distribution site as soon as possible, as well as some ftp sites --

Hi,
	There is a new Pittsburgh BBS up, it is called

	Right Here - Right Now,

	the SysOp is (me) Rainer Mager

	it is being run on an Amiga, but supports some IBM and MAC and
UNIX and VAX stuff.  I would appreciate it if only people who plan on
using this BBS regularly call it.  I have only a 105M hard drive, and I
don't want to have to validate a lot of temporary accounts.  I am not
discouraging use though, please give it a call.

		Rainer Mager

Nor could a project of that magnitude be kept secret, considering the number
of people involved in designing, constructing and operating such a facility.
If the U.S. President in 1972 could not hide one cheesy little third-rate
burglary of the Watergate, how could something on this scale be covered up?

I congratulate the author for an active imagination. Perhaps it's the first
chapter of some techno-thriller fiction that accidently was cross-posted.
