Release Schedule
This is a release schedule for USBBS for the next several
months. Unless there is some interference, the list is
released on the last weekend of the month unless the first
of the month is on a weekend. All revisions for the list
should be in by the Wednesday before the release date to
help assure that I get them.
PLEASE NOTE: Because this is a hobby and I do it for free,
I reserve the right to change this schedule without notice.
Notices about distribution are posted on BOBsBBS (916-929-
7511). Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
SYSOPS, please note: I sometimes have difficulty reaching
the remote update points before the release date. If the
board is down or constantly busy, I may not be able to
collect the information before the update for that month.
Call BOBsBBS (916-929-7511) to be assured that your update
will be considered for the next edition of the list.

New Area Code in 1994
Thanks to Glenn Catlin (Sysop of the Pretzel Zone BBS and Co-
Sysop of OPM FedJobs-Philly BBS) for the following
information. It's a bit early, but will be repeated in
later this year and in 1994. Just thought you might like
the warning.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania
1717 Arch Street
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103
215-466-4835
The supply of seven digit telephone numbers in the 215 Area
Code is nearing exhaust. Over the years, there has been
heavy customer demand for numbers to use with products and
services such as, fax machines, cellular telephones, pagers,
computers, and IdentaRing. To provide for future telephone
number growth, a new 610 Area Code will be activated in
Southeastern Pennsylvania in January, 1994.
This area code will serve all customers in Chester,
Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Northampton Counties. Portions
of Montgomery, Bucks, Monroe, Carbon, and Lancaster Counties
will also have the new area code. Please refer to the map
list below.
Dates Activity
-----------------------------------------------------
1/8/94 Permissive Dialing Begins. Customers may elect to
use the new area code and are encouraged to do so.
CPE switching to begin.
5/27-30/94 Bell of Pennsylvania databases will be
updated to accept the new area code. Cutovers
should not be scheduled for this weekend.
1/7/95 Permissive Dialing Ends. Customers must dial 1
plus the designated area code if not dialing
within their area code.
