Rename TAGL####.MSG to an unused BULLET#.MSG, for a colorized bulletin.
Example: Copy TAGL0193.MSG C:\BBS\AFILES\BULLET2.*
TAG will strip the Colors for users with Color turned off, so you need
only BULLET2.MSG for B&W and Color, instead of both .MSG and .CLR files.
You can download (using ZModem, or YModem-g) the latest version, and/or upload
(using Zmodem only) your addition/update, by calling 517-569-2332. BBS logon
_not_ required. Anyone, with a Front-End Mailer setup, can also FileRequest it
from 1:2330/4@Fido, 85:871/500@ITC, or 42:1066/0@Candy - MagicName: TAGLIST.
2400 to 14400 V.32bis & 9600 CSP, 23hrs (4am-5am EST = Mail only), 7 days

Beta Flags:
1 = Operates under Paul Williams
2 = Operates under Victor Capton
3 = Operates under Randy Goebel
4 = Operates under Mike Thurlow
5 = Operates under Allen & Marlene Madar
* (before phone #, in main list) = Beta Site
BPS rates Modem Flags (Protocol - min Error Correction - Manuf/STANDARD)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 = 1200 A = HST (High Speed Tech. - MNP - US Robotics and others)
1 = 2400 B = V.32 (V.22bis + 4800/9600 bps FDX - MNP - CCITT)
2 = 9600 C = V.32bis (V.32 + 7.2/12/14.4 kbps FDX - MNP - CCITT)
3 = 14400 D = V.42 (LAP-M Error Correction - MNP - CCITT)
4 = 16800 E = V.42bis (V.42 + LZ Data Compression - MNP - CCITT)
5 = 19200 F = V.34 (Proposed 28.8 kbps FDX designator - CCITT)
7 = 24000 Codex H = H96 (Express96, 9600 Synchronous HDX - MNP - Hayes)
9 = 28800 M = CSP (Comp. Speed Prot. 9600 - MNP - CompuCom et.al.)
P = PEP (Packet Ensemble Protocol - MNP - Telebit)
X = MAX (AX/96xx series - MNP - MicroCom)
Z = ZYX (V.32bis + 16.8 ~ 19.2 kbps FDX - V.42bis - ZyXEL)
% = MNP (MicroCom Networking Protocol - Level 4, minimum)
If only 1 BPS rate is given, there is no minimum BPS rate;
if a range is stated, the lowest number = the slowest speed allowed.
BPS rate is the Modem-to-Modem (DCE) speed; not the Modem-to-Port (DTE) speed.
Hours of operation: * = 24 hours, 7 days/week
2 letters = From & To Times:
A = 12am E = 04am I = 08am M = 12pm Q = 04pm U = 08pm
B = 01am F = 05am J = 09am N = 01pm R = 05pm V = 09pm
C = 02am G = 06am K = 10am O = 02pm S = 06pm W = 10pm
D = 03am H = 07am L = 11am P = 03pm T = 07pm X = 11pm
! = 24 hrs on weekends /# = /Node Number (Multi-node system)
Flags:
A = Has latest release of TAG for D/L
B = Private System (PW required)
M = Multi-user test Site
Node (FidoNet):
Zone:Net/Node.Point - Zone=1 (North America), unless stated otherwise
Note that FidoNet BBS's are closed from 4am to 5am (E.S.T.) for Zone Mail Hour.
(That's 1am to 2am Pacific Standard Time; 2am-3am M.S.T.; 3am-4am C.S.T.; etc.)
