Can anyone help me find out where there are some public access BBS's or singles matchmaker type systems on-line (outside of DEC of course) There was a ststem in operation in the Lynn, Mass area called The MAtchmaker. Half of my old site spent their lunch/g-time dialed into the BBS. I met some interesting people through it. I'de be especially interested in knowing of numbers within 25-30 miles of Hudson, Mass. My systems manager has a black book full, but tells me it will cost me plenty to get the numbers from him. He knows of 8-10 in the Marl- boro area. I have a VT100 at home and can't see dialing up into a BBS in NY or the West Coast; AT&T hoses me for enough as it is now. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ray MORGAN::LEVASSEUR

Looking at the BBS list found elsewhere in this file, the only sexually oriented board in Mass. is Dial-Your-Match at (617) 334-6369. You could also try any of the many boards in Mass for a list of local boards. | |||||

Almost any BBS that you can dial locally will have an expanded list of other local boards. Look thru the earlier list and give a try. -John | |||||

There is a working Dial-Your-Match in Worcester. I'm not sure what the phone number is, but according to an old BBS list I have, its 792-6234. If thats not right, you might call an out-of-state Dial-Your-Match type system. They usually have lists of the other systems. | |||||

From Infoworld Dec 3rd: "JOIN THE PARTY: Want to socialize but don't feel like going out? Call the Plaza Party Line, an independent service that links four people into a conference via modems. Because the system is primarily for entertainment, there are no functions other than conferencing. This service dreamed up by Matchmaker Enterprises, the company that designed DIAL-YOUR-MATCH bulletin board software, costs $1.50 per hour. Call (818)842-3322 to sign up for the service [and they can probably direct you to an accessable dial-your-match]. Matchmaker Enterprises also runs Dial-your-Match No 1, which founder Greg Collins calls the world's first computer bulletin Board dating service. Its a free service that he runs as a hobby. If you have a modem, you might meet your match by calling (818)842-6900." As I mentioned in another note, if you are interested in finding 'information service' systems (more than 'bulletin boards', since I am tracking services we can sell to our customers by automatic access through NE-TALK on DEC systems) just send me mail. |
