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

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. | |||||

THANKS FOR THE HINT, BUT DIAL-YOUR-MATCH IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION OR SO I'VE BEEN TOLD. THE NUMBER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED | |||||

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. | |||||
