--aa700] ______________________________________ ZMAGAZINE 86 BBS SYSTEMS ISSUE #2 ______________________________________ Published/Edited/Compiled: Ron Kovacs Assistant Publishers:Ken Kirchner Susan Perry December 30, 1987 Vol 2 Number 53 ______________________________________ Xx Before We Begin ______________________________________ There are more systems carrying Zmag than what is contained in this issue. I called systems over the preceeding two weeks to capture BBS artwork and information. I captured so many files, that I have had to re-edit this issue 4 times to compact the size. Where I could not get through, I listed seperatly. Lines with BBS numbers might be reproduced elsewhere in the issue. Late entries were included where possible. A special thanks to all the systems carrying Zmagazine this year. If I missed your BBS, Please send it in and we will use it in new issues in 1988. Without your support, we wouldn't be as popular as we have become. There are still a few out there who havent heard of us, so look for more systems next year. Special additional thanks to Susan Perry for her assistance, Ken Kirchner for uploading and ascii'zing the issues each week, Alan Kloza for his editing assistance earlier this year, Rich Decowski for using ZMag in his monthly magazine disk, Tom Scott for allowing ZMag a place in his new mag, and to the many others space doesnt allow to print. You know who you are and I great appreciate your help! (Lets not forget Calamity Jane, MidTown TV, and Mr. Goodprobe!!) Listing are not in any order, used as received! ______________________________________ Xx ABACUS BBS ______________________________________ ____ __ __ __ _____ __________________ __ _ _ ________ __

Due to abuse, we have switched to the call-back system. To gain access to this board, you MUST leave your phone number. You will be asked for the number in a minute. The BBS will hang you up and then immediately thereafter it will call YOU back. You must autoanswer the phone with your modem. From here you may hit return for your password and log on as a new user. If you don't know how to auto-answer, look at the menu of your terminal program, and if that fails, consult the documentation. Thank you! Finally, if you are long distance or having trouble using call-back, contact me via (614)-471-7268. Ask for Frank Seipel and I will manually validate you. Phone number (e.g. 471-9209): Call-back okayed! Will take me about60seconds to call. When you are connected, don't type anything until you see the HIT RETURN prompt. See ya! ______________________________________ Xx EAGLE BBS ______________________________________ Bulletin Board System 10 Megabytes+300/1200 Bauds Oasis BBS Software Open 24 Hours A Day/7 Days A Week Your Local SysOp Is Ed Van Pelt _____________________________________ Saturday 12/12/87 As you all should know, The Eagle BBS is up and running.

| | | | | | | | | | | Carina II Version 2.0 beta by Jerry Horanoff (c)1987 Carina Software Systems Updated 11-29-87 | | |

I have been getting a lot of people asking if they could prepay on Carina II in order to get it as quick as possible. At first I was against this idea, but now that I know that it will definately be released, I don't think it is such a bad idea, so if you do want to prepay, here is the address: Carina Software Systems 322 Natchez Court Jupiter, FL 33477 If you are a REGISTERED Carina 1 owner, Carina II is $35.00, otherwise it is $55.00. Keep in mind that, like Carina 1, Carina II comes with a 30-day money back guarantee so you can at any time get your money back - up to 30 days after you receive the program. Definition: Registered User One who has sent in his/her registration card! (i.e. You if you were smart) Uploaders: Thanks!....but.....Some people uploading aren't bothering to type in the descriptions (or if they do, they are very wimpy). If you're not going to bother to type in the description, don't bother uploading it because it isn't going to get validated and if you're uploading just so you can download some more, I will knock you're access down (which is real depressing since a new user would have more access..hehe). } |Read |R|Ctrl-R|Read Messages | |Scan |Q|Ctrl-Q|Scan Msg Headings| |Post |P|Ctrl-P|Post a Message | |Feedback |F|Ctrl-F|Message to SysOp | |Sections |+| +|Section Titles | |Go |G|Ctrl-G|Go to New Section| |Topics |T|Ctrl-T|Message Topics | |Games |#| #|Play a Game | |Logoff |L|Ctrl-L|Exit BBS | |Chat |C|Ctrl-C|Chat with SysOp | |Databases|*| *|Read a Database | |Users |U|Ctrl-U|List of BBS Users| |Status |%| %|Your Status | |Settings |S|Ctrl-S|Change Settings |
