The Computer Plumber BBS is pleased to present the following directory
of 125 Engineering-Oriented Bulletin Board Systems.

If you know of a bulletin board system that is strong on engineering or
scientific subjects or have more information on those listed, please
leave a comment to Art Petrzelka (SYSOP) on The Computer Plumber BBS at
319-337-6723, to apetrzelka on BIX, or 76320,204 on Compuserve.

There are many different types of Engineering Bulletin Boards, just as
there are many different types of engineers.

There are three types of boards listed in this directory:
   - Engineering-related BBSs,
   - Product support boards, and
   - Other BBS resources of use to engineers.

Unless otherwise noted, all entries operate 24 hours a day, and can
be accessed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (8N1) at full
duplex.
