                      Unixland Public Access Unix and  BBS
                      ------------------------------------

Synopsis:  Unixland is a public access Unix system (as mentioned in a Design
           News article listing on-line information sources).  Shell accounts
           are available, providing access to Usenet News, E-mail, and normal
           Unix utilities.  The UNIX version is ESIX 3.2-D;  I am considering
	   an upgrade to some version of SYSVR4 at a later date.  The purpose
           of the system is to make USENET, E-MAIL, and UNIX access available
           to people who otherwise would not have such access.  Business
           Professionals needing e-mail for business contacts, and hobbyists
           wanting to learn about Unix are both encouraged to join.

           The system runs on a 33Mhz 80486 with 16 megabytes of memory
           and 64kb of external cache.  Over 1 Gigabyte of disk space is
           online.  The 2400 baud modems are being phased out, with high-speed
           units replacing them.

           Also on the same system is a "UNIXBBS" BBS system providing FREE
           limited access to Usenet.  Full BBS access is available for system
           subscribers.  BBS member accounts are available for those who wish
           to access USENET and E-MAIL by using a menu-driven BBS interface
           rather than dealing with UNIX commands.

           The system offers over 2500 Usenet newsgroups and reliable e-mail
           transfers via uucp connections with two internet systems and several
           other systems world-wide. Files are being added to the download
           library to utilize the over 1 gigabyte of disk space on the system.

           UUCP connections are available for a nominal charge.
           (high-speed modems only please if you want a USENET feed)

           Please note that Unixland is NOT presently "ON" the internet, so
           I am not able to offer TELNET or FTP services.  All access is via
           dial-up lines only.
