This month not only marks the beginning of a new year, but
the ending of many boards in the 919 Area Code.  This month's

month.  As always, if you know of a bbs that isn't listed in
the list, please let me know!  Thanks and have a Happy New
Year!

December, 1995

The much awaited LONG Listing of the 919 Area Code BBS List
has been released!  SysOp's that have provided us with
information about their bbses have had their information
included in the list.  If you are a SysOp and want
information about your board included in the list, please
send the information and it will be included in next month's
listing!

New Additions This Month:
     - A Qmodem Pro dialing directory has been added!  Since
       Qmodem Pro supports grouping, this dialing directory
       has been grouped and sorted by city.  Check it out!

November, 1995

Attention SysOps!  An extended edition of the 919 Area Code
BBS Listing will soon be released.  If you haven't done so
already, please fill out the application and send it in to
Paul Newton.  Be sure to include a description of your BBS in
the "comments" section of the application.

The 919 Area Code BBS List has almost doubled in size from
last month!  Soon, a more detailed listing will be released
that will give you more specific information on all of these
bbses.

New Additions This Month:
     - Recognition for those SysOp's who choose to display
       the 919 Area Code BBS Listing as a bulletin on their
       BBS.  Display our list on your BBS and let Paul know
       if you want your BBS recognized!

October, 1995

     The 919 Area Code BBS List was born in October 1995 out
of a need for a dependable, accurate listing of all of the
bulletin boards in the 919 area code.

     The introduction of the 919 Area Code BBS Listing has
brought a few new items that have never occurred in previous
listings of the area:

     Phone Dirs:  Actual dialing directories of the 919 Area
     Code in your favorite communications' program format.

     Dependability:  The 919 Area Code BBS List will be
     released on a monthly basis.  Guaranteed.

     Accuracy:  Every bulletin board on this list has been
     called and verified.  We even provide you with the
     actual date we logged on!  We actually call every bbs!

     Convenience:  The listing is distributed in three, easy
     to read formats:  ASCII, ANSI, and in PCBoard codes.
     You won't find this listing riddled with codes and
     symbols that have no meaning unless you have to cross
     reference them against a table at the end of the
     listing.  Everything is presented to you in plain, easy
     to read, English.

            The 919 Area Code BBS Listing Staff
            

The BBS List would not be possible without the following
people:

     Mike Hare, The Programmer

     Mike wrote, from scratch, all of the software that makes
     it possible to compile and create the listing.  It can
     be said that the 919 BBS Listing would not exist in it's
     present state if it were not for Mike and his brilliant
     programming.  If you have any Windows programming needs,
     it would be well worth your time to give Mike a call.
     He can be contacted via WILDHARE bbs.

     Paul Newton, The Author

     Paul has spent a great deal of time and money verifying
     each and every bbs included in the listing.  Aside from
     providing the coordination and organization to the
     publication, he also provides his bbs, ArenA, as the
     home of the BBS listing.
