Do you own a computer and a modem?
    You can use your computer to connect to any of several electronic bulletin board systems. On a BBS you can exchange information, coordinate research, and sometimes get new files. There are a few electronic BBSes which have special sections concentrating on the JFK assassination. Some are free for the cost of  a phone call. Others are commercial services which charge per minute or per month. Here are some BBSes you can call:

PRODIGY -- commercial service, $14.95 per month for unlimited usage. For sign-up information and to order the special software to connect (requires an IBM compatible or Macintosh), call customer service at 1-800-284-5933 (voice) 12-8 PM, M-S. To find the JFK discussion on Prodigy, JUMP to ARTS BB, then select BOOKS/NONFICTION from the TOPICLIST. Most messages have subject lines starting with the letter J.

COMPUSERVE -- commercial service, $8.95 per month for BASIC service; extended services are charged by the minute at the rate of $6.00 per hour for 300 baud connection, $8.00 per hour for 1200/2400 bps connection, and $16.00 per hour for 9600 bps connection. At presetn, there is no modem compression available. Call 1-800-848-8199 for sign-up information and suggestions about which special software is available for your type of computer. To find the JFK area, GO POLITICS. The Political Debate Forum is an extended service which charges by the minute. Messagesabout the JFK and other assassinations are stored in section 8, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, and files are stored in Library 8.  I am the leader of that section, so if you have any suggestions or questions, please leave a message to my ID number 72127,2301.

InterNet -- limited access network. Many colleges, universities, and research labs provide access to InterNet. Some commercial services provide access to InterNet, but costs vary. If your site carries newsgroups, ask if it can get the newsgroup called alt.conspiracy.jfk and what special software or manual you might need in order to send and receive messages. File exchange is possible if you have the right software.

The Puzzle Palace -- free local BBS. My BBS, which is located in the Boston area, has a special section for fellow researchers of the JFK assassination. You can connect at 300,1200, or 2400 bps, but there is no modem compression at present. Set your terminal for 8-N-1 and dial 1-617-625-2815. Please note the hours of operation listed below. At the MAIN menu, select J to JOIN, then type in jfk for the 3-letter code.
