some of it below. If you find addtional sources, please post a message to
John here, and he will add your new items.

Bulletin Board Services (BBSs)

TQM.BBS (301) 585-1164 Free BBS not affiliated

Dedicated to the free exchange of information and education in
the principles of Quality. I use this BBS most (so I may be
biased) but find this BBS the most useful by far. It has a
large number of files available for downloading and a number of
active conferences (including 3 internet newsgroups). A good
deal of material based on the philosophy of the late Dr. W.
Edwards Deming.

OPM mainstreet (202) 606-2080 Free BBS Federal Government

This BBS has an area managed by the Federal Quality Institute.
The FQI area has little of interest but has a large number of
users. Also has a mail list area which allows participation in
a number of active internet conferences.

SBA.BBS (800) 697-4636 Free BBS Federal Government

Not much on Quality, but there is some. The 800 number allows
you to call free from anywhere in the USA.

Delight the Customer (517) 797-3351 ? ?

Deals mostly with customer service.
