You're both right. Expand the net to everyone as a free service of the

Hey, this is a free enterprise.  If one finds a sucker to
buy bottled air, one gladly will charge for it.  Sure 'all' in
my original statement were hastily placed without thinking the 
ingenuity of marketing tricks (yeap, the special arrangements).  
I was refering to the operators like MCI/ATT/etc.  Those operators are 
not charging for mail sent, according to my prior inquires.  
As long as computers are making inroads to every 
household/small-business, what I said will be the
norm like regular telephone charges.  Probably, one or two
vendors are trying to grab as much as from their subscribers
today (like cellular phone operators) before the actual
marketplace forces will burn their hands.
Paying for mail received, what a rip off!

  I'm sorry, but backwards "E" has been taken.  Logicians know it as the

Subject: telnet-able IRC clients?
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest) 
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 13:46:59 GMT

I am curious if there are _usable_ clients available that can be
telneted to.  The alt.interenet.services FAQ lists two such clients,
but neither one seems to work for me.  Here are the addresses (from
the a.i.s faq):

bradenville.andrew.cmu.edu
ircserver.itc.univie.ac.at 6668

Is there another way to telnet into IRC without having a client handy.
I would like to get my friend onto IRC, but he has absolutely no
diskspace on his account where he can leave an IRC client.

Any ideas?  ...thanks....

Yes, there is. The best that I know is coombs.anu.edu.au /pub/irc/gif/*
Oh!  It _was_ the best place.  I just tried to ftp there, but got no service.
I hope it will be back soon.

Other places that I have seen... nic.funet.fi,  I don't know much about it.
I think it contains mostly Finnish people's GIFs.

Well, for everyone but Timo...

Using the VMS IRC Client 1.7.3 the command is /SPAWN.  When you want to
re-enter IRC, issue the LOGOUT command.

Here's a list... several of them seem to be "dead" but the taiwan thing 
works, and the univie thing works (with a limit of 15 users)...

Good luck



Here are some places you can run IRC on:

"telnet ircserv.itc.univie.ac.at 6668" <-- 15 users max, loc. Vienna, Austria
"telnet bradenville.andrew.cmu.edu" <-- never succeeded to login (yet)
"telnet irc.santafe.edu" login: irc , loc. somewhere in the USA
"telnet cc.nsysu.edu.tw" login: irc , loc. Taiwan ROC

That's all there is, there should be another FQDN that gives IRC from
Taiwan, something with "snoopy" in the name, but I think it's the same
computer as the cc.nsysu thing...

Please e-mail me any additions!

  Well, it's sometimes boring.... 
  Nevertheless, maybe it's your own problem! 
  
  I have once found nobody to talk to in IRC, but though why don't you
  join some crowded channels?? Or to be more talkative?? Try to discuss
  and talk something interesting and even fooling around with those
  interesting people. You'll find that what really is the attraction of
  chit-chating... :)

  To be honest, I am quite a shy boy in real life! But sometimes I am 
  too surprised to find out why I could chat & fool with others. Yes,
  perhaps I myself prefer typing than speaking :-) :^D #:-| 
 
  No pains.. No gains... 
  I understand your situation (of being isolated), since I had such
  experiences too.             

  Why not give yourself another chance?? Go ahead...

Just a note.  The ftp site that has also IRCers-GIFs is now up.

ftp coombs.anu.edu.au
cd /pub/irc/gif

And there you will find the directiries.

Big fat hairy deal.  Geordi mentions "the Federation Newsnet" in his
briefing to us cadets aboard the Antares in the "Star Trek: Orion
Rendezvoud" planetarium pseudo-science slide show (don't bother.  It's a
slide show pointed straight up with a lot of LeVar Burton narration.)

When I heard the Newsnet mention, I instinctively set my phaser on
'rmgroup'.
