International BBSing and Electronic Communications Corporation.
IBECC is a Colorado Non-Profit Corporation founded in 1991 in the public interest.
IBECC is totally volunteer-run and staffed - no one, including the directors, receives any remuneration for their work except the (good) feeling of a "job well done." All IBECC services are funded by the volunteers, staff, and founders, and by donations from the community and users.
Originally started to provide information, assist in "getting people online", run conferences (and publish a newspaper) related to BBSes telecommunications and the sciences, and provide the media with a knowledgeable resource, IBECC rapidly grew in a number of directions we really hadn't planned.
Currently, IBECC runs a "hot-line" (voice) where it provides information, assistance, and support at no cost to callers, an irreverant, electronic (free) newsletter relating to what is happening and what may happen because or in spite of it, and (of course) this WWW page. While our web pages may get irregularly updated, our newsletter updates are sent out as related issues become hot!
IBECC also continues to provide information and rumor control (e.g. "Is there REALLY a computer virus named ... and do I have to worry about it?") as well as help with a number of services (e.g. "nyx - the spirit of the night", which is a publically accessible unix / Internet system) and organizations (which, although not directly associated with IBECC, are also not-for-profit, and/or in the public interest). It has also expanded its areas of support to include general scientific endeavors, speculation ("what if...") and other educational activities.
Finally, IBECC has taken a special interest in the handicapped / disabled community. It donates a number of computers each year, at no charge, to people who are receiving SSDI, disability payments, etc., and who are (primarily) "homebound." These computers come with full, legal, copies of DOS, and "shareware" or "freeware" software, a modem, and complete set-up. While not the latest, state-of-the-art systems, they are fully usable - and provide a way for people to "get out and online." (While the number of systems is limited, if you know someone who otherwise could not afford a computer, who is homebound, handicapped or disabled, please let us know).
