ECHOmail Conferences ==================== Many Tacoma area BBS's are linked with a network of thousands of systems around the world to provide you with access to conferences on all sorts of specialized topics. Entering a comment locally may bring a reply or several from just about anywhere that computers and phone lines exist. Listed below are the conferences echoed locally. Some may be viewable by request only, so if you can't find the one you want, send the appropriate SYStem OPerator a note requesting it. Note: The Racer's Edge BBS carries over 1000 echos from about a half dozen alternative networks which are not listed here. Internet/Usenet newsgroups are also available on several bbs's, but are so numerous and subject to change that to ennumerate them here would be near impossible and probably triple the size of this list! Download the files LISTSERV.ZIP and NEWSGRPS.ZIP from Amocat BBS for a list of avilable Internet stuff.

Local to Tacoma prefixes are: Area code 206 207, 209, 219, 229, 265, 272, 279, 280, 305, 307, 309, 312, 318, 370, 381, 383, 415, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 502, 530, 531, 535, 536, 537, 539, 549, 552, 564, 565, 566, 572, 581, 582, 584, 588, 589, 591, 593, 594, 596, 597, 627, 751, 752, 756, 759, 761, 770, 840, 841, 843, 845, 846, 847, 848, 851, 857, 858, 862, 863, 884, 891, 906, 922, 924, 925, 926, 927, 952, 964, 967, 968, 984. Area code 360 (bbs's in this area code are denoted with an asterisk after the phone number. Tacomans need only dial the 7 digits) 446, 458, 832, 893, 894, 897. Some of the above prefixes may not be local to Puyallup/Sumner and other outlying areas. Those of you with 922, 924 - 927, and 952 prefixes can also call some BBS's located in the Auburn and Des Moines areas of South King County. I've personally called and verified the existence of every board on this list. All were working as of Feb. 28. No attempt has been made to rate the quality of these boards as different folks look for different things in a BBS. Some of the features have been noted, however, and your suggestions as to other data you'd like included in the Features section of future editions would be most appreciated. Other Washington BBS Lists ========================== LOTTCA Listing (Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, Thurston County Area) is a feature of The Sceptic Tank BBS, Olympia, Tim Tapio sysop. Call 206-754-4878 to download. KBBS, the Kitsap/Olympic Peninsula BBS List is now maintained by Robert Coy, sysop of Another BBS. Downloadable at 206-479-6527 or via Fidonet, 1:350/39 (F'req KBBS). The Puget Sound Computer User is a free monthly computer publication which includes an alphabetical listing of many Western Washington BBS's. Look for this one at many supermarkets, bookstores and computer dealers throughout the area. COMMENTS ======== Welcome to the Tacoma Area BBS List and Newsletter, better known as TABBS. This list is not the work of any group, club or organization. No monetary or other compensation is requested, nor accepted for its use. To the best of my ability, it is a complete listing of Tacoma folks who answer their phone lines via modem to socialize with old friends and meet new ones, but prefer to communicate by keyboard rather than by mouth. Suggestions on what you'd like to see in future editions of TABBS are always welcomed, as are any additions or corrections you might find to this listing. These can be sent via modem to the Amocat BBS, where you can leave mail to yours truly as either SYSOP or Rich Langsford (the software cares not which). If for some reason you have no modem, or worse yet no computer you can also ring my voice line during reasonable hours (9am-10pm would be just dandy) and leave a message with my friendly answering machine if I'm not around (566-1144). You are invited to make this listing available to others in whole or in part, but please try to purge any copies older than a couple months and leave the Amocat number at the top so folks will know where to submit changes. The list is verified the last week of the month and a new one is available for download from Amocat just about the first day of the new month in both .ZIP and .TXT formats. The TABBS files are suffixed with a three letter month abbreviation, e.g. TABBSMAR.TXT for March. It is fervently hoped that by the time the filename is used again in 12 months, I won't be finding last year's models still sitting around on any BBS's! Please delete all copies of TABBS*.* other than TABBSMAR.* as they are now obsolete...thanks! --Rich Langsford Special thanks to the Tacoma area modem users and sysops whose updates have helped maintain the accuracy of this listing!
