BBS Name BBS Number Comments -------- ---------- -------- 1) M-Link 1-800-254-6587 Once again, M-Link is at the top of the chart at #1! Due to its great files base, great message base, and of course its free ac- cess to Internet it will probably keep this position for quite a while, until another great BBS comes out with more to offer. M-Link is still currently running on 1 line but the wait is well worth it. In order to upgrade to more lines, M-Link needs your dona- tions, so if you would like to have easier access to it send them in. Ask the sysop about where to send the donations once you are on. 2) SBA 1-800-859-4636 This is another one of the greats. At number 2, this BBS offers the best message base that anyone could ever ask for. With many different message forums you are bound to find any information that you need. And the people on this board are great, they are always willing to help if anyone ever has any problems. With plenty of nodes running, you should have no problem logging on to this BBS. 3) Gulfline 1-800-235-4662 This is just one of those BBS' that you've just got to love. It has one of the finest files bases available and the Sysop is the kindest person you could ever chat with over the lines. And not to mention the great message base. With this combination, this BBS is sure to be in the Top 5 for months to come. In order to gain full access to Gulfline you must wait a few days while your registration gets processed. 4) Lexmark BBS 1-800-453-9223 A newcomer to our list, Lexmark may soon be the BBS to beat. Although primarily for users of Lexmark pro- ducts, this board is open to the general public. It provides the caller with a great message base and it has a files base that isn't too bad either, although it could be better. Watch for this BBS in the months to come, who knows where it will get from here. 5) African Studies 1-800-446-0396 This is a great BBS when it comes to both message bases and files bases. Although mainly for the exchanging of information about Africa, this bbs is open to the general public and has quite a few files available for download. The one problem with this BBS, and the reason it dropped from 4 to 5, is that callers only have 15 minutes now instead of the hour that used to be available. But even with the 15 min. time limit, this BBS is still one of the best. If you have any 800# BBS' that you think should be on this list send me a message on any of these BBS' stating the name and the phone number of the BBS. I will check it out and if it is good enough, it will be in the Top 5 List the next month. The number must be an 800#, available to all area codes in the U.S., in other words, not just from a certain state or area code, and the BBS must be completely free to the user, no charges of any kind. If there are enough BBS numbers given to me, the list may go back to Top 10 BBS' instead of Top 5. Thank you for using Ray's Top 5 800# BBS' and enjoy!
