NOTES:

. 9600 baud typically implies operation also at 2400, 1200 and 300 baud.

. 2400 baud typically implies operation also at 1200 and 300 baud.

. 1200 baud typically implies operation also at 300 baud.

. All above boards not recently verified; if they exist in the Fido
National Nodelist they are assumed to be in operation.

. EchoMail carriers have message bases in which a message entered on that
particular board in certain message areas is moved between several or
many other boards carrying the same EchoMail Conference. Messages are
typically not private, and therefore are seen by many other users. The
user is cautioned about this feature of EchoMail.

. No responsibility is assummed for any of the above information; all
information is in the Public Domain as of this writing and therefore
available free to anyone who wishes it. No copyright, trademark, rights
or authority is imposed or infringed upon by, on, or in this document
and no responsibility is assummed for it's distribution or accuracy.
Distribution, updates, and corrections are encouraged, however.

. If you don't feel like sorting this list to taste, it is available
from 102/138 in various sorted forms:

DECBBS.NOD - sorted by Net/Node number
DECBBS.NAM - sorted by name of bulletin board
DECBBS.PHO - sorted by area code, phone number
DECBBS.STA - sorted by State
DECBBS.SYO - sorted by Sysop's name

File requesting DECBBS.* gets them all.

. Current DEC related EchoMail Conference Coordinators/Moderators are:

PDP-11: Mark Buda, 132/777
RAINBOW: Dave Strickler, 101/45
VAX WEST: George Dahlco, 102/138

Hi Frank
I picked up SEDT ver 4 from glacier and it works fine. I went back and
picked up the WPSKEYS and I cannot get the Function-keys and Number-key-pad
to work at all. Do you know what I am doing wrong.
I did not have to do anything to the EDT KEYS except renaming them.
I change the SEDT.CNF file mapping it WPS. but no luck.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Jack Jones

Your point regarding Newman is well taken.
Of course I only buy from them (or recommend them to others) when
I'm reasonably sure that their's is a particularly good price.
Buying a total Rainbow system at a REAL DEAL price does not always
work out if one needs only one item -- like a graphics board.
I could have a garage full of extra keyboards, monitors, LA-50s,
etc. if I'd done that.
I think we could both lighten up a bit.  OK?

Looks like my jumping on Mark's case may have a useful side effect.
Hope you get that system you need.
