Subject: Shameless plug for a BBS
Keywords: BBS AfterFive Fun MUD
Date: 27 Aug 92 18:43:27 GMT
Organization: Space Remote Sensing Center

Hi!  This is a shameless plug for AfterFive, a BBS and Chat at af.itd.com 9999
The numbers are 128.160.2.249 9999  OK, end of the short plug.  Now let me
tell you all about the place.

Our hours are from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. CST time.  PLEASE don't attempt to log
in during the day.  Also note that you log in like you would for a MUD. If you
get a login prompt then you forgot to add the 9999 part at the end of your 
telnet command.  An example of how to connect using a UNIX machine is
"telnet af.itd.com 9999"    Note that you don't actually type the ""
For a VMS machine you would   "telnet af.itd.com /port=9999"  again not typing
out the " "

The BBS section of AfterFive is based on the Citadel BBS system.  Two examples
of Citadel BBSs are Quartz.rutgers.edu and Grind.isca.uiowa.edu.  If you've 
used one of these systems then you'll feel right at home at AfterFive.  The 
major difference is that we don't use "hot keys".  This means that you will
have to hit return after every BBS command.  Also we can support up to 250 users
any any given time.  I don' think you'll find another BBS on the Internet that
can support that many users at once.  Our database should be much more stable
then the other systems as well. Again note that there is NO bbs login.
Roomaide are WANTED!  If you have ever been a Roomaide on Quartz or ISCA and
are willing to help out at AfterFive you qualify!  Get in touch with us!
We now have 9 MEGS of lyrics available!

Our Chat system is the DaemonMUCK0.12-beta code that was enhanced by Doran
and Claudius at PythonMUCK.  I've made several changes to it so one or two 
things might be a bit different than you would expect.  If you have never
used a mud before this Chat system will be the most advanced system you've
ever used.  The database is based on Bourbon St. in New Orleans Louisiana. 
If you have never heard about Bourbon St. its like one HUGE non-stop party 
along several blocks.  The street is blocked off from traffic at dusk and 
people roam around drinking, eating, partying, and going to the stores and 
strip tease shops.  This database is NOT for young children.  The strip-tease 
and a few other sections are pretty graphic.  Our database development isn't 
finished.  There is still quite a bit of work to do.  If you're interested in 
helping out contact a wizard.  We do allow some building.  

Restricted building is in force as well as restricted MUCKers.  If you wish
to work on something at AfterFive contact a Wizard.  Our current wizards are
Howard, Darrel, Trish, and eyes.

I hope you visit AfterFive and find it a blast!

Once upon a time, maybe, nowadays, most Universities and a growing

as such connected directly to the Internet.  So, all you people who

   Quartz' drive has two bad sectors on it.  These are hard errors, and 
require a reformat and restore from a previous tape.  The start of
classes coincided perfectly with this, and as a result, neither myself or
Dave has had enough time to be able to sit down with the machine and do
all that is necessary to get it running again.  I would think that by the
end of this weekend, it will be back.  However, this isn't a guarantee of
any sort...

Date: 26 Aug 92 02:49:18 GMT
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

This may not be the appropriate group, but its the closest I can find.

1) How does one find out valid hosts and other such information on JANET.
   I'm thinking of the equivalent of the NIC's Whois query. For example,
   suppose I'm looking for the e-mail address of University of
   Sussex. Do I just guess the name as sussex.ac.uk? There MUST be a 
   better way. Here, I can just do a 'whois "University of xxx"' and
   get enough info to send mail to postmaster, at least.

2) Is there any way you can finger, ping or find out about the status
   of hosts on JANET. I know you can connect to them via sun.nsf.ac.uk
   but how about just a finger or even a talk?

Thanks for any info.

This sentence has several mistakes:

KA9Q is covered by copyright, hence it is NOT public domain.

It can be copied for free by amateur radio operators and for use in
education.  All other users must contact its distributor for licensing

I am writing a hypertext bulletin board system which will run on a client

The question is, will this be a bulletin board?  From the (minor) research I
have done, one feature that bbses often have is that of using a low level
terminal standard for the user interface (eg vt100, teletext)
How true is this?  Some other bbses do use client software.

I would also be interested to here from anyone else who is working on a
hypertext based bulletin board or information on already existant bbses of
this nature.  Summaries will be posted.

Let's address 2 things.

First, again, I'll remind everyone that if you're a developer
of BBS software, communications software, or interface utilities
(etc...) PLEASE send me mail or give me a call at 805-542-0336
and request to be added to the committee. A lot of people are
saying that there's not much MAC or UNIX support, so if you're
a MAC developer...

Secondly, there are basically 2 groups at this point. One working
on graphics exchange standards, and the other is working on
messaging. The consensus at ONEBBSCON was that RFC822 and RFC1036
are probably the way to go, so those of you who suggested it
are on the same wavelength.

I am actually writing gateways for the systems that I have
access to (which include Searchlight, Major BBS, and soon
I should be receiving TBBS, Wildcat, and PCBoard). Other
gateways will hopefully be interoperable (uupcb, for example).

In any case, that's the scoop at this point. Questions?
Please feel free to email or call!

  You are missing the meaning of censorship. An editor is not censoring
you if they refuse to pay for your article or print your letter to the
editor. They are refusing to commit their resources to helping him
spread his message, not preventing him from spreading it at his own
expense. If a paid ad is refused, then that's censorship.

  If I choose not to carry anything from dixie.com, or just from John
(who has never made a useful post I've seen), that's not censorship. I
haven't done that, because people put his postings up on the bulletin
board and write witty comments on them. He serves the purpose of

  If someone refuses to pay the cost of carrying unfounded complaints

This is by far the most asinine posting I have seen in a long time.  Your
