 Key to Abbreviations

 INET - Internet Access
  Net - Networked BBS (Fidonet, etc.)
  Msg - Local Message Conferences Only
 File - File Transfers
  Gam - Online Games

 Systems that offer local, non-networked message conferences are flagged Msg.
 BBSs that are also "networked" with other BBSs are flagged Net.  BBSs that
 offer Internet access in addition to either local message conferences or
 networked BBS services, or both, are flagged INET.  Check the extended
 description for each BBS for detail on scope and services provided.

 Unless otherwise noted, all systems are available 24 hours daily, 7 days a
 week.  All numbers are local to the Denton, Texas, calling area.  Numbers
 with prefixes of 240, 241, 243, 320, 242, 321 and 648 may also be "local" to
 an extended area including Argyle, Bartonville, Carrollton, Denton, DFW Air-
 port, Garland, Grapevine, Irving, Justin, Keller, Lake Dallas, Lewisville,
 Plano, Ponder, Rowlett, and Wylie.  Unless otherwise noted, all systems are
 "dial up" accessible by modem.  The SBI list described below is a compre-
 hensive guide to BBSs and online services that are accessible only through
 an Internet Service Provider.

 This list is also available by File Request (FREQ) from Fido 1:393/11 as
 DT_BBLST.TXT, DENTON.TXT or DENTON anytime except during Zone Mail Hour, or
 by download under the same filenames.  An archive file, DENTON.ZIP, is also
 available.  It contains additional items including a list of discontinued
 local bulletin boards.  The distributed version of the file has the release
 date embedded in the filename for easy identification: dtYYMMDD.txt and
 dtYYMMDD.zip.  This list may be freely distributed as long as it is not
 altered in any way and no fees are charged.

 Other lists available by File Request or download include BIGD.ZIP, DFW.ZIP,
 USBBS145.ZIP, and SBI0596.ZIP (a list of Telnet accessible BBSs).  All are
 also viewable in the "GFile" area on The Mezzanine by hitting G at the main
 menu prompt, then selecting one of the following folders:
