NZ BBS List - FULL VERSION!
Richard Vowles
Ok. First I must make apologies to all those people (mercury, kcbbs, ccu1)
that I accused of ballsing up the NZ BBS List posting, it was in fact my
own software, and the case of an unsigned int not being big enuff. So
here follows the NZ BBS List for September, which I hope to post again
each month.

Notes about fields
------------------
For each region, the following keywords are explained:
Region: This is the region, all BBS's within that area are toll
free to people calling that area. They are in alphabetical
order.
Calling-Prefix: The Telecom prefix needed to call this region from
outside the toll free calling area. It may be the same
for a number of different regions, but calling different
regions remains a toll call, and requires the prefix.
Comments: These are comments about various regions. The information
provided is mainly about networks within the regions.
Additions: New systems added since the last list
Deletions: Systems previously on the list but have closed down.
Updates: Systems which have changed in some way.
For each BBS within a region, the following keywords are explained:-
Name: The name of the BBS, followed by Sysop(s) in brackets. If
the BBS is prefixed by a The, then the The will be in
brackets at the beginning of the name.
Lines(s): There are different methods of accessing certain systems,
typically phone, and packet switched network (x25 or ax25,
phone or radio). The most typical access method is phone and
so these are listed first, followed by x25, and then ax25,
and then any other method.
for a phone it would be
Phone Number / Hours (Baud Rates + Error Correction facilities)

Networks: These are networks that these systems are known to belong to.
If you wish to join any of these, it is best to call one
of the local nodes that also belong. Most are fully open
to new members. At the beginning of each region, there is
a description of known network contacts.
When a network is listed with a question mark next to it, it
means that the system in question is on that network, but their
address is unknown.
IFNA = International Fidonet Association. Approximatly 13000
BBS's worldwide. Governed by POLICY4, and ECHOPOL, and
local administrators rules/rulings. New Zealand representative
is Tony Hall of Tony's BBS in Christchurch. Each major city
has its own co-ordinator in charge of issuing new node numbers.
The IFNA is responsible for the K12 Education Network.
Demi-monde = New Zealand's alternative to IFNA, governed
by POLICY.ZIP (freq from 199:320/1.0). New Zealand representative
(ZC) is Orion of The Patch (Auckland). Currently works with
both UUCP and Fidonet style systems. This now incorporates the
ASD echos available from The Nuthouse (199:340/1).
Note also, all Demi-monde systems are accessable by EMAIL via
Usenet (user@fNODE#.nNET#.z199.fido.nacjack.gen.nz, e.g
Richard Vowles 199:310/1.0 would be
Richard...@f1.n310.z199.fido.nacjack.gen.nz)
Usenet = The Users Network, actually connects businesses,
universities, and many other private and public organisations
around the world. Carries approx 1800 newsgroups in New Zealand.
OasisNet = An 8-bit Atari based network. There is only one
system currently operating in New Zealand - Simplicity BBS
(Christchurch).
SLnet = SearchLight Network, it is a network of SearchLight
BBS systems that uses the same framework as the IFNA to run.
Primary difference is that it supports all of the message
control information (such as colour) that can be stored in
a message from a SearchLight BBS.
LOCNET = a network local to Hamilton
Family Net = An alternative Fidonet technology network which in
New Zealand and Australia carries a number of Christian Echos.
Access to the network is through an application to join the
United Christians Communications Network. The New Zealand
Co-ordinator is Errol Thompson of Christian Ministry BBS. All
applicants are expected to be members of Fidonet in New Zealand.
System: Machine/Operating System followed by information about the
machine itself (clock rating, hard drive space, processor),
followed by the software that the BBS runs under. (If Known)
Audience: The audience that the BBS is looking for.
Additional: Additional information about the BBS. If it is not otherwise
mentioned, there are no fees associated with belonging to
the system. Sensationalism is strictly avoided.
Fee: This is the cost per annum (unless otherwise stated) of using
this BBS per year. Many have schemes of increased access for
more money.
Handles: Whether alias names can be used on this BBS.
Offline: Whether the system has facilities for offline readers, and
if so, what type.
