A little follow up info.  I'm sorry if my reply was taken out of context
in reference to the BBS system in CA with the legal troubles.  However,
I still stand by my feelings about operators that knowingly give out
Sprint, MCI, and USTel numbers and have special sections of their
boards devoted to databases of these numbers.  

I dug a little farther into the organic memory banks and the article that
I mentioned was refering to a state law in Wisconson( I think, it may have
been Michigan or Minnisota) that specifically prohibits the sale or use of
any "modem finding programs" that are used to locate unpublished BBSs.  
Just like the kid used in "War Games".  The blurb about the BBS was part
of that article, but not the main topic.

Personally, in the CA case, I don't feel that there is any valid charges
against the operator unless it can be proved that he knew the numbers were
there, he knew what they were, and he intentionally left them posted.  
I think that if there is a private section of the board is not the issue.
