Commodore 64/128 Bulletin Board List - 27 September 1998

This is a list of all known OPEN Commodore Bulletin Board Systems
operated on GENUINE Commodore 64 or 128 computers, sorted by country
and telephone number. The list is published at least once per month
(preferably twice per month), with no set schedule. The latest copy is
always available at ftp://jbrain.com/pub/cbm/faq/cbm-bbs-list.txt and
ftp://videocam.net.au/cbm/info-txt/cbm-bbs-list.txt(normally within
minutes of arriving at the servers).

Certain items are abbreviated and those abbreviations can be found
near the end of this document, after the credits. Readers are
encouraged to upload this list to any BBS and to notify me of any
additions/changes/corrections or recommendations.

If you would like to receive a copy of this list each time it is
published, send a new email message to wanderer@cyberdude.com. If you
