Subject: Connecting a Galacticomm BBS to the Internet
Organization: Community_News_Service
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]
Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1992 14:58:06 GMT


Recently, I posted a message that brought news of our Galaticomm BBS
system being connected to the Internet. The response has been amazing! An
incredible 812 new accounts have been created from users that logged
onto the system through telnet in just two days. A flood of messages came
in that indicated there was lots of confusion as to what that Galacticomm
system could do. Because there were so many individual messages, I decided
to answer the main bulk of the confusion here...
 
First, let me explain that CNS is connected to the Internet via a
dedicated T1 through 2 SUN systems: a SUN SPARC 10 and a SUN 3/280. You
may check out these systems by loggin in as "new", using password "newuser".
On these systems, we support telnet, ftp, irc, wais, gopher, uucp, slip,
and point-to-point connections. We also support fax services, all
newsgroups including the ClariNet, and national 800 service.
 
We have connected to these SUN SYSTEMS a 486 running Galacticomm software.
This system has 32 lines local to Colorado Springs coming in. If you log
onto CNS with username "bbs", the system will connect you directly to this
system. In a nutshell, we have provided telnet access to the BBS by
connecting it to the Internet through our SUN systems. However, this did
not change the fundamental limits of the Galaticom software: It does not
support ftp, newsgroups, gopher, or most any other Internet feature. To
experience that, you must log into our UNIX system.
 
Having said that, most of you our there already have access to all those
Internet features. Logging onto a local BBS where the majority of users
don't even know what Internet is makes for an interesting mix of people.
The users on the BBS system are amazed to be talking live with someone
far away... this is something that Internet users take for granted. The
BBS has over 2000 active local users, very few of which understand the
Internet.  In fact, many are novice users of computers.. this is why the
menus may be more explicit that what you may be used to.
 
Anyway, I hope that this served to clarify some things..

The things there are mostly medical related software, but you might want

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe there is nothing you can do
about the situation.  You are correct in presuming that the problems
stems with the fact that you are using a VM/CMS system to access the
other Internet resources.  As I understand it, VT100 terminals must go through
a protocol convertor when conversing with VM/CMS such that some
information is altered or lost.  The net result is that one cannot get
true VT100 mode when connecting to another system from a VM/CMS
host.

We have found an exec (from somewhere on the Internet) that attempts
to emulate at least simple VT100 terminal functions.  It is called
TNVT100 EXEC.   If thee is interest I can find out which archive we got it
or make it available here - (i'll have to check first to make sure that
is legal, i think it is.).

A word of caution -- TNVT100 is not good enough to telnet to another
session and use a character-oriented full-screen editor  such as
vi or emacs.  It may be good enough to access menu-based OPACs or
GOPHERs.   Either way I do not believe it is a solution to the problem,
merely a hack that does the best it can.

The U.S. Department of Energy runs an educational program where high school
teachers (then their students) can be trained on and receive accounts for a
Cray XMP-II (not sure on the model number... been a long time.)

The program is run out of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the
person in charge is Sue Wiebe. I don't know if any internet access comes with
this, but thought you might be interested in it. Oh, Sue does have an email
address which I can't find at the moment. I could forward any queries to her,
but calling the lab would probably be your best bet. You can get it by
netfind, too.

As far as I remember the hermes connection is through a SprintNet connection
and that gives evenings/weekends rates of $1.70/hour. And $11.70/hour
daytime. 

It is still the cheapest way for me to connect as I live in Denmark.
Anybody know how to use CIM this way ? Mine always aborts during the

On the ski cost front, I've been dealing with a new company in 
Colorado called Rock Solid Fax Attractions that does short-notice
high discount deals. They say they've struck deals with several ski areas
to resell packages that aren't going to sell out, then sell or email out
a weekly list. The best deal I've seen so far was for 4 nights at
Crested Butte with lift tickets and air fare for $499. (They also do biggies
like Vail and Aspen for more money).

You can reach them at 303-770-2447 or 5488201@mcimail.com if you're

You can find out where The Whole Internet Guide is being sold by
telneting to gopher.ora.com, logging in as gopher, and looking under
"Ordering Information".  Listed there are bookstores (listed by State)
that carry O'Reilly books.  There's lots of other useful information
about O'Reilly books there too.. Check it out.

BTW, if you have a local gopher client, you can access O'Reilly's
gopher server directly by using the command 'gopher gopher.ora.com'.

Spacemet carries some FidoNet conferences; it is accessible via
telnet spacemet.phast.umass.edu, or FidoNet 1:321/110. This is a Maximus
system attached to an EMULUX box. 

zeus.ieee.org has part of a FidoNet BBS mounted as part of its file
system; this allows it to make the incoming SDS files accessible via
anonymous ftp. 

There are lots of RIME systems which also run uuPCB, which let them
receive USENET; however export of RIME to other networks is prohibited
by the steering committee. I am not aware of any RIME systems which
have been put on Internet via the EMULUX or other approaches.

Other Internet systems carry gatewayed FidoNet conferences; which
ones are you interested in in particular?
