Atari 8bit Support BBS's
Atari BBS List 10/8/97 Maintained by Trevor HolyoakPlease keep me informed with updates to the list and I'll post revisions as necessary. In particular, if one of the BBS's is within your local calling area, please give them a call and let me know whether they're currently operational. All boards are assumed to be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week unless otherwise noted. The format of the individual entries is below. Note that each entry uses at least five lines (all of which are less than 40-columns in order to make this easily 8bit readable): "Type" indicates the type of hardware used to run the board. "Status" is whether the board was up or not the last time it was checked. "Status Date" tells you when the entry was last updated. -- There can be one or more lines of "Notes". An asterisk (*) next to the board's phone number indicates that entry has been updated since the last version of this list. ****************************** * Atari 8bit Support BBS's * * * * Last update: 97-10-08 * * * ****************************** ## : [*] : : -- ------------------------------------- 52 Systems Listed ------------------------------------- 01 ? : 716-337-3628 New York, USA ? : ? : 96-03-10 -- Carina 02 ? : 604-873-1131 * Vancouver BC Canada Atari-8 : OK : 97-09-22 -- 130XE/BBS Express Pro Node #86/300-14.4k bps 03 ABACUS : 415-564-8062 San Francisco, California, USA Atari-16 : ? : 96-03-10 -- ST Express 04 ABBUC Box : +49-5439-3265 Bersenbrueck (?), Germany Atari-8 : OK : 96-03-13 -- M-F 19:00-07:00; S-S 15:00-08:00 MET 05 ACE of America : 503-761-9074 * Portland, Oregon, USA Atari-8 : ? : 96-12-27 -- Support for the Carina BBS System and all other Shadow Software Sysop: The Shadow 06 ACUTE : 610-261-0620 ? ? : OK : 96-11-26 -- Atari Computer Users Technical Exchange, ProNode 330 07 ASB Zan Sweeds : +46-3145-8807 ? ? : ? : 96-03-10 -- ProNode 463 08 Atari Connection : 801-280-7486 ?
