                         NOT ANOTHER LIST?!?!?!?!!!
                         (No one can FTP just one.)
           A list of featured players on the Internet, compiled with
            the help of Auggie BBS (bbs.augsburg.edu) and dozens of
                          computer geeks like me.
           Compiled on March 5, 1994 by CC May (mcm@pine.cse.nau.edu)

   This is a list of services that are available on the Internet, a
network that has grown exponentially in just a few months.  The Internet,
according to some reports, has become the largest online service on
the planet.  Companies like Microsoft, IBM and Apple are now taking
notice at something we've seen all along, and we are beginning to
see the commercialization of the Internet come into full effect.
New to this list are the addresses of software and hardware
companies who are now connected.
   Mind you, I haven't lost focus of the reason this list is in
existence: RECREATION. :)

FREE BULLETIN BOARD SERVICES
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
NOTE: I have placed BBSs whose main goal is to entertain or serve as
a forum for people to get together here.
BBSs whose primary purpose is connectivity or services involving the INet
have been placed in 'Other Services and Tips'.
 
\\\EBBS/PIRATE BBS///
Friendlier than it sounds.
Takes advantage of VT100 and up with a full-screen environment.
All offer Boards (message areas), Mail, and Talk.
Some offer Files and IRC connections.
One minor problem: The majority of these BBSes are limited to
only 800 or so users (that's total, not online) at any given time.
 
Auggie BBS
bbs.augsburg.edu
141.224.128.4
bbs
More boards than ever, Real-time and IRC-like chat, 4m, and BillyNet,
a link to plenty of other BBSes. I read the InternetStuff board to pick
up on most of the new BBSes.
 
Eagles' Nest BBS
seabass.st.usm.edu
131.95.127.2
bbs
 
NSYSU-BBS
cc.nsysu.edu.tw

LIANE BBS

Czech Republic.
 
\\\CITADEL///
Citadel is a message-only system.
Boards using this are highly active with the exchange of messages
in various "rooms", sometimes as varied as MST3K>, NetLife>, and
Spam! Spam! Spam!>. Plenty of information can be had on these boards,
though no files are available.
Another feature of these boards is that each one has added a little
flavor to the stock Citadel code, so none of them are quite the same.
 
Quartz BBS
quartz.rutgers.edu
128.6.60.6
bbs
The granddaddy. Interesting and spontaneous conversation found at any
hour of the day or night. On the other hand, there are only 10 users
allowed at any one time.
 
Prism BBS
bbs.fdu.edu
132.238.2.10
bbs
This one is based on 'floors'. Also very hard to get into on a regular
basis.
 
Sunset BBS
paladine.hacks.arizona.edu
128.196.230.7
bbs
Another variation of the normal Citadel, somewhere between the original
and DOC.
 
Monsoon BBS
rtd.com
198.102.68.2
bbs
The second Citadel in Tucson. They must like it a little there. :)
 
The Ragged Edge
wagner.musicnet.ua.edu
130.160.156.75
bbs (bbs)
It was a Citadel, then it wasn't, now it is. So there.
 
\\\DOC///
Dave's Own version of Citadel.
Best-known as the software ISCA BBS runs.
No files can be had on these, either.
Also, as is programmer's nature, each of these BBSes now have their own
added features.
 
ISCA BBS
bbs.isca.uiowa.edu
128.255.200.69 <-Note new IP address!
The biggest BBS on the net. Period. 15,000 users a day are calling ISCA.
The user count is now over 100,000.
This BBS is literally six times as large as the first time I reviewed it.
During periods of heavy use, expect to wait in a queue just to get in.
Hint: Get the ISCA BBS Client via FTP for more ease of use. Look in FTP
sites for more info.
 
SkyNet
hpx6.aid.no
128.39.145.226
skynet
Norway. Close to 20,000 users here, with up toi 48 online at a time.
I post this list on INet> upon release.

bbs
Mexico. Mostly Spanish, with a few rooms for English speakers.
 
Shadow
shadow.acc.iit.edu
192.41.245.143

Shadow was originally geared toward being a technical BBS, but it's now
popular pretty much all around.
 
Club BBS
club.gdl.iteso.mx
148.201.1.18
bbs
If you're looking for a 100% Spanish BBS, it's here.
 
Brinta BBS
brinta.ptf.hro.nl
145.24.149.50
bbs
The new one, and the first DOC BBS to run off of a PC.
The Netherlands.
 
BBSs USING OTHER SOFTWARE:
OUBBS
oubbs.telecom.uoknor.edu
129.15.3.15
TBBS
A very attractive BBS catering to University of Oklahoma students.
Offers a lot of services typical to non-Net BBSs, including Internet
and FidoNet mail. Both Mac and IBM files available.
 
Monochrome

138.40.17.(4,5,6,1,10,11)
(You only have to pick one of them.)

user name.

filling these places up.

now, barring any I haven't seen.

FREENETS AND PUBLIC ACCESS UNIX
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Freenets are fairly new to the Internet.
These services often have Telnet, full email, USA Today news and
weather, and are typically set up like 'cities'. Registration is (as the
name implies) free, but usually require a snail-mailed form.
In much the same idea, a few boards have been set up for the public to use
UNIX at no cost.
 
Cleveland Freenet

FTP SITES!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
For those of you who don't know how to FTP:
The command is like this:
To FTP Project Gutenberg...
ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
Once you are prompted for a login, do this:
On a UNIX, type anonymous.
On a VAX, type login anonymous.
Your password is your email address. It's a courtesy to the FTP server
to do this. Get used to it or make a macro.
List the contents of directories by hitting 'ls' or 'dir'.
If you use 'dir', you can tell which are directories by looking at the
far left. If the first letter at the far left is a d, it's a directory.
Otherwise, it's a file.
Change directories by hitting 'cd directoryname', where
directoryname is the name of the directory.
To get a non-text file (.ZIP, .Z, .sea, .LHA, .tar...), type bin before
the next step.
To get a file from the server to your account, type get filename.
Sometimes it takes a while. That's life.
Getting it from your account to your computer is someone else's problem.
:)
 
ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
Project Gutenberg. The project is trying to distribute 1 trillion
volumes within a decade. Dozens of books have already been translated

GOPHER!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Gopher is a graphical interface for the Internet. If you're new to the
Net, learn the Gopher tricks. You'll be glad you did.
Many machines already have gopher clients built in. To see if yours
does, try this:
gopher consultant.micro.umn.edu
If you don't have Gopher, you can use these to get in:
telnet consultant.micro.umn.edu, login gopher
telnet rs.internic.net
 
Special thanks to Gopher goddess Sue Steele for her assistance.
 
gopher consultant.micro.umn.edu
The first Gopher and the home of the Gopher project.
 
gopher info.monash.edu.au

It has lots of rock news and trivia.
 
gopher gopher.ora.com
