Isn't that just a list of phone numbers?

What are some websites that host the text files, ansi art, and computer programs from old school BBS systems? I would really love to be able to mirror that with wget and explore it in emacs.

Edit: http://www.textfiles.com/directory.html looks good.

for my area code, some of the sysops have left commentary on the directory page that lists the numbers. also, i used to log in to many of them.

I saved a whole bunch of files from my BBS days, including screen captures of the BBSes themselves:
