Subj: COMPUTER RESET BBS

 A while back Rick Hanson mentioned an outfit in Dallas called Computer Reset
as a source for reconditioned, souped-up Model 100's.  The following is just a
bit of info to help you log onto the Computer Reset BBS.  They also carry
MS-DOS, and other assorted and sordid computers.
 The bbs is mostly a classified ad bbs: no online chat or help.  It does have a
few MS-DOS files to download.
 <<I'm providing this FYI only, just because I'm a sport and I live near
Dallas.  I have no connection with Computer Reset and, in fact, haven't even
bought anything from them!>>
 
 COMUTER RESET BBS, DALLAS
 BBS (214) 272-7920
 VOICE (214) 276-8072
 
 <<The BBS runs 2400 baud, maximum.  The ad says it runs 24 hours, but I
haven't been able to log on late nights.>>
 
 Log on <<Literally!>> as "NEW USER", password "NEWUSER" <<but omit the
quotes!>>.  Don't use your name, favorite password or any of that stuff - the
BBS will just disconnect and you'll get P.O.'d and think evil things about me
which might be true but you don't know me that well.
 Please limit use to 30 minutes per day!  <<Their request, not mine!>>
 ALL USERS LOG ON LIKE THIS: 
 
 User name: NEW USER
 Password: NEWUSER
 
 <<The BBS will echo back:>>
 
 User Name:  NEW USER
 Password:  *******
 <<Just like good ol' Club 100!>>
 
 <<I've stripped out the graphics, but the menu looks pretty much like this:>>
