|
|

comprehensive guide to BBSs and online services that are accessible only

|
|
|

This list is also available by File Request (FREQ) from Fido 1:393/11 as

|
available. It contains additional items including a list of discontinued
|
|
local bulletin boards. The distributed version of the file has the release
|
|
date embedded in the filename for easy identification: dtYYMMDD.txt and
|
|
dtYYMMDD.zip. This list may be freely distributed as long as it is not
|
|
altered in any way and no fees are charged. The list may also be downloaded

Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these BBS listings,
|
|
no guarantees are expressed or implied. Information of this type is a
|
|
moving target and subject to change at anytime. Listings were current as of
|
|
the dates shown for each system. The extended descriptive information, when
|
|
present, is provided by the respective system operators and is included in
|
|
the list as a courtesy. Updates are released as changes occur. As the few
|
|
remaining dialup BBSs in Denton have been very stable for the last several
|
|
years, these listings are verified only occasionally these days.
|
|
|
|
Updates and corrections to the Denton Area BBS List are invited and should
|
|
be netmailed to Walter Bowen, Fido 1:393/11 or E-mailed to wbowen@unt.edu
|
|
or wb@chatter.com on the Internet or in Denton to Walter Bowen on The
|
|
Mezzanine BBS (565-9165). Thanks, as always, for your help in keeping this
|
|
information current!
