*** SOCAL103.LiST *** May 1995 Copyright (c) 1995, by Mike Heffernan 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adult File Sections (Y/N)--------------| Off Line Reader-Capable--------------| | CD-ROM(s) Online (Y/N)-------------| | | Highest Known Modem Speed-----| | | | | | | | Telephone No City BBS Name, Software Description Modm CD R A ------------ ---- ------------------- ------------------ ----- -- - - 213~254-6175 LA Rediffusion RBBS 213~262-8110 Arca $US Pompeii DLX 213+293-0070 SLA $The Castle BBS MJ Chat,Files,Games 2400 6 Y Y 213~294-7791 Ingl Baud Town DLX 213~295-2084 LA $Westwood Storyboard 213~342-0976 Blazin' Bytes BBS 213+344-0960 Hprk $Beeline,DLX Mail,Files,Adult . .

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. * - network hub: carries most or all conferences for the indicated net AD - Adultnet: Over 18 Only Ada - AdaNet: technical discussions of programming in the Ada language AN - AlterNet: medieval intergalactic network, with about 250 members sites ASP - BBS member of the Association of Shareware Professionals BI - BirdNet BIT - BITNET: Non-commercial academic network, over 500 members institutions BU - BunnyNet: BZ - BIZnet: business-oriented CAL - Cal-Net CAP - CAPNet CC - Community Chat Network: CD - Candy: DV - DVNet: DESQview enhancement file storage sites EX - Executive: Business, probably EG - EggNet: Something like Fidonet EM - EmergNet: EN - EchoNet: Something like Fidonet etc - if after PDN, includes SDN, SDS, UT, and WIN file distribution nets FA - FamilyNet: FI - Fidonet: World's largest microcomputer network, over 8000 member sites GR - GreenNet: environment, ecology IC - IceNet: IL - InterLink: Over 170 member systems, over 100 high-quality administered forums, dedicated to excellence in information and service.
