Online Games
============
Following is a listing of online games, also known as "doors" which are
available to be played while logged on to some of the Tacoma area BBS's.
This is by no means an all-inclusive listing, though we'd like to see it
become so in the future. If you run into games on these or other boards,
please encourage the appropriate SYStem OPerators to drop me a note so I
can add to the completeness and accuracy of this listing. Thanks!

Dialing Information
===================
The  BBS's  listed  here are located in exchanges local to all Tacoma
callers unless otherwise noted.  Local  to Tacoma prefixes are:

229, 265, 272, 279, 280, 305, 370, 381, 383, 446, 458, 471, 472, 473, 474,
475, 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,
832, 840, 841, 843, 845, 846, 847, 848, 851, 857, 858, 862, 863, 884, 891,
893, 894, 897, 922, 924, 925, 926, 927, 952, 964, 967, 968, 984.
 
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 Oct. 31.    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 appreciated.

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 via written word  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. TABBSNOV.TXT for November. 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 TABBSNOV.* as they are
now obsolete...thanks!
 
--Rich Langsford
  
Special thanks to the Tacoma area modem users whose updates have helped
maintain the accuracy of this listing!
