My "modem" turned out to be a LAN-STAR board, for an old NT network system.
Anyone want it?  Best offer.

Is anyone out there familiar with the Motorola 88100
RISC machine?  Any experiences or opinions would be
appreciated.

I'm consulting for a client who's in the market to
purchase an automated library system, and one of the
vendors is bidding the Motorola as the hardware
for the system.  Two of the other vendors
have bid IBM RS6000s and one has bid a DEC MicroVAX
3100.

I've heard of the IBM and the DEC but have no idea
whether the Motorola is a decent platform.

Thanks

A task force for creating a FreeNet for the Triangle area
is growing and now reaching a "critical mass".  We need more
volunteers !  Please reply to me with your interest/experience
and become a part of Triangle history!

The people who bring this idea to fruition will be affecting the lives
of thousands of Triangle (and surrounding area) both now and for years

thing good.

Our group needs additional experienced volunteers in many areas, from
grant-seeking to database mgmt to programming and human-networking.

Organization: Extended Bulletin Board Service
Distribution: triangle
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 19:18:55 GMT

Tim Seaver set up this group at my request. I have been working with a
group in Chapel Hill to start a big public bbs. We have done a lot of
ground work -- we've incorporated (Public Information Network, Inc.), we
have tax exempt status, and we've made lots of contacts. We've even
submitted some grant proposals, though all have been turned down so far. We
would like to provide a service for RTP similar to the FreeNets currently
available, and we need a lot of help. Tim Arnold recently posted a "Call
for Interest and Experience" to triangle.general (on July 16). We now have
a special group for this discussion.
 
If you haven't seen the FreeNets, try them out. Internet to
bbs.oit.unc.edu, login as bbs, then enter your name and a password at the
prompts. From the bbs main menu, select item 9 (Libraries...) and then
type BBS. Cleveland, Heartland, Youngstown, TriState Online (Cincinnati),
and Lorain are "FreeNets." Cleveland is the oldest and has the most stuff
in it. 
  
I hope we can use this newsgroup to develop a plan for implementing a similar
service for RTP. Bill Hutchins (President of PIN) and a few others in PIN
are currently working on another grant proposal that is due August 1 and
will take most of our time until then. There seems to be enough interest
in this subject to have an "organizing" meeting. Seems like mid August
might be the best time. That would give us time to put together a
reasonable program to get the most out of gathering together. 

Meanwhile, we can use this newsgroup to bounce around ideas. For
example, what do you think of the "city" model? Can you find things? Do
you have ideas for better menus?

Think of people you know who might like to help with this project, and
think about people who will want to provide information. Start making
lists of names, addresses, and e-mail addresses.  

Think about ways to finance the thing (we're figuring on about $150,000 a
year).

This is an exciting project and there's a lot of enthusiasm for it
already, but we're going to need LOTS of help.

I think the "city" model is horribly corny.  Constantly having to
translate "city hall" (or whatever) into whatever it really
represents wastes human brainpower.

Besides, it's insidious cultural discrimination against us hicks
who live out in the country :-)  Why not call the various menu
selections "barnyard", "stable", "dung-heap", "trough", "silo",
etc., instead of "city hall", "court house", etc.?  :-)

Or maybe the suburbanites would like some terms they could
relate to, like "subdivision", "mall", "another subdivision",
"another mall", ...  :-)

But seriously -- it's *not* a city, it's a computer system for
storage, retrieval, and communication of information.  Why not
use words that describe its real functions?

(Note to those who have never used a FreeNet system:  the authors of
many such systems present the system to the user as if it were a
"city," with different functions or menu selections being given
cutesy names like "city hall" instead of a description of what
they really represent.  The cutesy names are supposed to be
analogous to the actual function the represent.)

hi,
i've looked around the freenet and i was wondering what sort of things
beyond what is already publically available at UNC bbs were you envisioning?

As a way to access the net and communicate community to news, unc-bbs seems
to meet these needs.  i'm not arguing against a rtp freenet by any means,
i'm just wondering what your vision for it is, and if it would be a 
reinventing of the wheel.

Before we criticize the "City Model" used by Cleveland and other FreeNets,
we must come up with something better. This requires a complete list of
headings which require less than a full screen for topics to bring to mind
all possible  subjects which might be posted on a FreeNet. I define a
FreeNet as a no-cost BBS available to the general public which carries all
information paid for by the taxpayer, including land records, schools,
parks and recreation and health services. It should be interactive,
permitting free discussion between users and from users to all public
employees and elected officials. 
A FreeNet is the modern replacement for the public forum. The basic
service serves the local community (such as the Triangle), but ideally
should provide access to surrounding communities, the state and the nation. 

Comments on this newsgroup should bear this definition in mind.

A product engineering position is currently available at 
Harris semiconductor, at Research Triangle Park, NC.

We are a small develpment group, introducing Intelligent
Power products to the marketplace. Our staff consists of
about 30 engineers in design, product, test, and reliability
groups.  Our wafer fabrication sites are at Mountaintop, PA
and Melbourne Florida.

The product engineer will be responsible for evaluating
first-of-kind silicon, determining test limits, generating
data sheets, managing the qualification process, and per-
forming general duties related to bringing a new product
to market.  Additional responsibility will include analysis
of product yield, and implementation of measures to improve
yield, as well as performing failure analysis on units that 
fail during the qualification process or in the field.

We prefer an MSEE, but will certainly consider a BSEE. A
strong candidate will have a knowledge base in semiconductor 
fabrication, design layout, statistical analysis, and will 
possess a basic knowledge of chemistry.

Part-time Position Available (Summer and *Fall, 1992) 
STUDENT ASSISTANT FOR DEVELOPMENT 
Laboratory for Computing and Cognition (LCC)
UNC School of Medicine

*Depending on availability of funds and projects, this position might
extend beyond the Fall semester of 1992.  Although this position is
intended for students at UNC-CH, non-students will be considered.

Under the supervision of the Development Coordinator, the Student Assistant
will perform the following tasks:

	(1) Collect, enter, and edit data for software developed by the LCC.
	
	(2) Develop software using interactive or scripting platforms 
	    (i.e., non-programming), or modify the work of others using these 
	    methods.  (Work involving programming in high-level languages may 
	    be included as well, depending on the applicant's skills.)

	(3) Assist in the production of documentation and training materials 
	    for software developed by or introduced by the LCC.

	(4) Assist in training faculty, students, and staff in the use of
	    LCC software.

	(5) Attend campus presentations or user groups as a representative 
	    of the LCC as directed by the Development Coordinator.

	(6) Transport and set up equipment to be used by the LCC in training 
	    sessions or special presentations.

Familiarity with Macintosh and PC type systems is required.  Software
development experience (especially with HyperCard and/or SuperCard) is
highly desirable.  Experience with VAX/VMS and/or Unix systems is desirable.
Good verbal and written communications skills are necessary because some
work-related activities involve interaction with faculty and students
independently of the Development Coordinator.

The Student Assistant position requires 20 hours a week at $10 an hour.
Office space and use of a Macintosh computer will be provided.  Some
flexibility with regard to weekly time commitments will be allowed, as long
as an overall balance of 20 hours a week is achieved.

The Assistant will meet with the Development Coordinator at least once
weekly to review work.  Other meetings may also be required depending on the
projects in which the Assistant participates.
 
To apply for this position, please contact:
