These new and majorly changed numbers will be marked with a !##!. Also Starting November 15, the BBBLIST800 support BBS will open. The Support BBS will allow you to get the latest list in ascii and .zip form, to submit new numbers, to contact BBSLIST800, and it will also allow contact with us through Fidonet and WWIVnet. For the number and more information please read the Mid-November list released November 15 for the sole purpose of telling about the BBS and providing the number or read the December version released December 1, 1992. The final change is that our format has been reduced to 75 columns instead of 80 due to people reporting some problems. If you will notice the BBSLIST800 logo bar is formatted at 75 columns and the bar above this message is a 75 column scale.
