HyperTerminal: Microsoft BBS Profile Still Carries the 206 Area Code.

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

CAUSE

The area code for the Washington state location of the BBS server was changed from (206) to (425), but the profile for the BBS in HyperTerminal was not appropriately updated.
