Look for programs on local boards that convert DFW.BBS to dialing directory
format. PQCONV21.ARC handles QMODEM, PROCOMM, and TELIX. GT-DFW.ARC (Pascal)
handles GT POWERCOMM. CONVERTR.BAS handles PROCOMM. Any more available?

7E1 Seems to work better at 7 data bits, even parity, one stop bit.
And we suggest:
1 Don't try a number at 2 AM unless it is fairly recent.
2 Keep track of where you got a number and tell that Sysop
if he is distributing numbers that annoy people.

We are having trouble with copies of this list floating around long after it's
out of date. Destroy any BBS list that is more than 60 days old. We will
verify many of these boards weekly. Sysops: please get a new list at least
once each month by calling Dallas RBBS-PC to read Bulletin 1. Anyone can leave
rational feed-back about this list in a comment to sysop on 931-8073 -
provided they call at 1200 or 2400 Baud, (we've had some real creeps at 300),
use their real name, and refrain from using foul words.
