It does *not* include public access USENET sites which don't provide Internet access as well; see the nixpub (alt.bbs,comp.misc) and NetPub (alt.bbs.lists) lists for those. While I have included all sites for which I have information, this list is most likely incomplete. This information is provided as a public service; accuracy is not guaranteed; use at your own risk. Please send me any additions or corrections. Area Code Summary ----------------- (Note: currently this list only includes US sites. Country code for all phone numbers is "+1".) These are area codes of the dial-ins. Some dial-ins may be local calls from other nearby area codes; check the phone number with your local phone company. Most sites are also available via PC Pursuit ($30/month for 30 hours off-peak 2400 bps access -- call 800-736-1130 for more information), and of course telnet.
