   Hello All!   
      
   In this time of countless destructive programs that are transmitted   
   to you via E-Mail, the BBS community of System Operators offer a   
   secure "shield" from these intrusions. Many BBSes offer a "text only"   
   form of internet E-Mail through a special system of "gates".  These   
   gates effectively trap file attachments and active "scripts" that can   
   attack your computer.  You are completely isolated from the   
   destructive attempts. The trade-off? You generally cannot receive   
   attachments of pictures, files, or Web Page type mails; only text.   
   Many folks find this alternative quite acceptable.   
      
   The benefits?  Many BBSes have sophisticated "spam traps" in place   
   that dump the all-too-common garbage mail that swamps many people.   
   You don't need a fast computer or high-speed internet connection in   
   most cases.  Many BBSes still maintain "dial-up" lines as well as   
   "telnet" connections via the internet.  The speed requirement is very   
   low.  With dial-up BBSes you don't even need a connection to the   
   internet at all - no Internet Service Provider required.  It's a   
   completely different environment than the Web.   
      
   Call or telnet into one of the systems listed here or at   
                          https://telnetbbsguide.com   
                              or
