   Here is the latest list of Public access BBS's, and FTP Sites that
carry Linux files.  This list was last modified 01 JUL 93.

NOTE: No, you didn't miss the one of the 15th.  I'm sorry if you were
looking for it, but I've been to busy with a couple of schools that 
my job sent me to.

PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBS'S:
   In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number 
enthusiests don't have FTP access.  In fact it is possible that by now 
most of the Linux fan's don't.  So I would like to suggest that those 
of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux file's to.  I, 
for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBS's, 
and from there they the file's tend to find there way to other local 
BBS's.  I've seen post's about the future of Linux etc., well here is a
way to help guarentee it.  I think it's safe to assume that most people 
with FTP access also have a modem.  So how about doing other Linux fan's
a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to.

FORMAT:
State   YYY  BBS Name                Phone Number    Modem Speed
Rating       City                    Other data
 
RATING SYSTEM:  1 -- Only enough the most basic of files
                2 -- The basic's and a little more
                3 -- So, so
                4 -- A respectable amount
                5 -- Pretty much everything you need
 
ADDITIONAL INFO:  

     YYY -- Either a Yes/No/? answer to the question
     |||
     ||Free access to Linux files
     |Allow file requests (FidoNet)
     First time D/L of Linux related files

File Requests:
  FidoNet BBS's with the right type's of front-end mailer's can call other
Fido BBS's and request their front-end mailer to send them files that they
want.  All this can be done automatically.  File Requests (freqs) are 
basically the FidoNet equivallent to UUCP.

  I would apprieciate it if when you send me info on a BBS that you
send me all the info that you see in the entries, thanks.

 It is my understanding that if you have access to a BBS on 
FidoNet that if you can talk the SysOp into it he can get the 
Linux Files via Fidonet Linux SDN.
