Thanks for that, but perhaps I should have been more explicit. What I am looking for isn't internet access, but text-based boards - preferrably accessible from modems running at 300 and/or 1200 bps. If anyone is operating these, it is likely to be on a legacy hobby basis.

Ironically, it appears that I can access American numbers cheaper (9p a minute via 1pmobile) than I can 0844 numbers in the UK, so I might have a go at some of the numbers I've found.
