METRO List - Official Area Code 617 BBS List Issue #1 June 1995 Compiled by Paul Litvak Welcome to the first issue of the METRO List! I have noticed that the 617 Boston area is lacking an updated BBS List and decided to start a list that will be updated each month. I am going to get this list into Boardwatch Magazine's List of BBS List Keepers as THE bbs list for the 617 area code. I do not think that I have all the systems in the area on this list. If you know of a board that is not listed here, please contact me and give me its number. I will check its existence and include it in the next issue of the list. I will eventually have the current issue of the list on every bbs listed in here but for now anyone who wants me to deliver an updated issue monthly to his/her bbs will have to pay an annual fee of $12(if their bbs is in 617 AC), $20(if their bbs is in some other AC in the US), or $30(if their bbs is outside US). Of course you can always download the current issue of this list free of charge on the PAL Online BBS, which is the central distribution site of the METRO List. The list is in the file METRLIST.ZIP I am currently using Telix to keep this list updated but Telix does not allow long descriptions for each entry, so if you know of a good comm. program that would let me enter long descriptions please contact me. Also ignore *70 in front of the telephone numbers, I used this to disable call waiting. The list will give BBS of the Month award to the most outstanding bbs each month. If you would like to nominate a bbs for the award, contact me. To purchase an advertisement in this list for $5 a month, contact me. |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Please contact me(Paul Litvak) on the PAL Online BBS (617)964-6028 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| You can distribute this list in an unmodified form free of charge.
