S.F. area Mac BBS's
Gregory Hulbert
These numbers were called during a two month period from mid-August
to mid-October 1988. Given the rapid change in BBS's here, it may be
possible that some of the verified BBS's have become goners. If you
find such a BBS, please send me mail so the list can be modified.

Brought to you by Greg Hulbert, Bernard Aboba,
the Stanford Macintosh Users Group, and the MailCom BBS
Legend: (+) --- BBS has been verified
(NA) --- phone was never answered
(busy) --- phone line always busy
(gone) --- BBS no longer in service
