Does anybody know whether there is public Internet access, free or
otherwise, in the Burbank, CA area?  Or any local dialups allowing
access to telnet or possibly a local gopher system that ports to gopher.msu.edu?

I know of a service called Express Access (info@digex.com) that has a
Baltimore local dialup in 410.  They do charge $25/month for full
Internet access (ftp, telnet, irc, etc.), or $15/month for just news
and email.

OK, So I'm on a really good board that has usenet, but I'd like to be 
able to ftp/telnet/muds from a local (713) number, will probably get 
access from UofH later, but if it's reasonable and here, where is it?

Reply-To: "richard wyble" <richard.wyble@channel1.com>
Distribution: alt
Organization: Channel 1 Communications

Regarding QWK packets and Internet newsgroups.

This is already implemented in some (many?) places in the PC world. I 
presently read newsgroups and email via one of these systems. It 
works, but not without some hitches.

Channel1 Communications in Cambridge MA, a large commercial BBS 
system, has a full-time uucp connection, evidently running under DOS. 
For their users, they run PCBoard BBS software with a "usenet 
gateway." Various "mail doors" allow downloading of QWK packets: I 
routinely use their Qmail door. I have all login, logout, upload, and 
download, automated under Telix scripts: get in/out fast because it's 
a toll call! Their mail packets are all zipped. I'm seldom online for 
more than three minutes, usually one or two.

Responses are all read/written using QWK mail readers.


                            SOME PROBLEMS.

The PC software limits message length to around 100 lines. It splits 
longer messages into many pieces. You still get them, but it's 
somewhat inconvenient to read.

Difficulties arise with UUENCODED binaries. The PCBoard software 
behaves properly, but the mail doorways and offline readers interpret 
too much of the content to be ansi control sequence--I have yet to get 
one reassembles correctly. The work-around is to go online manually 
and do a message capture and download it without ever touching it with 
QWK software. XENCODED material is handled without a hitch. Still, the 
problem of short message length persists: it's a royal pain in the a** 
to strip headers out of perhaps two-dozen messages and reassemble 
them. Like humpty-dumpty.

Pagesat Inc.
992 San Antonio Rd.
Palo Alto, Ca. 94303
415-424-0384

Description:

Pagesat provides full Usenet feeds via satellite.. With inexpensive equipment,
you can receive approximately 50 megabytes of Usenet news daily. The system 
ensures that you get every newsgroup in the world that we can obtain via nntp.
Thus you get the equivalent of multiple internet backbone feeds 24 hours every
day of the week. No need to rely on multiple uucp connections which are 
inherently unreliable and have delays. 

Pagesat's Satellite Usenet service saves you telephone bills. It is secure. 
No one can break into your system over a satellite link. Enhanced services 
such as weather pictures from our real time downlink which are not distributed
via Usenet will soon be posted, and plans are being made to develop other 
services as well.

Over the last 7 months, Pagesat has proven to be a reliable service. Since 
Pagesat has FCC common carrier status, there will never be any censorship.

Details:

The purhcase price of the hardware is $2100. With a down payment of $1000 and 
$50 monthly installments you can receive all the news that a backbone internet
site receives. 

This newsfeed service is underwritten by our main activities which consist of 
commercial data broadcasts via satellite. We do not rely on income from the
newsfeed service.

This program will continue until until our goal of 300 units sold is met. The
package consists of a PCSAT-300 receiver, 9600 bps UDI modem, 45 cm dish,LNB,
and 50 feet of coaxial cable. We have software that supports B-News, C-News,
and soon MS-Windows 3.1 ... 

For more information, call 415-424-0384 or send mail to "pagesat@pagesat.com"
including your postal address. 

Pagesat is committed to serving the network with a low cost service, and will 
continue to provide timely,reliable newsfeeds. With continuing research and
development in wireless communications, Pagesat will always be a leader in
the wireless data field.

Visa/Mastercard and Checks accepted.


You can see us at Usenix in San Diego. Stop by and check it out.

Dear Netters,

With the start of 1993, I am now compiling a list of all the
developments that have happened in Internet for the past 1 year.  
Eg : K12 is one of the latest development under 'Education' in Internet.  
Or you may have some interesting sites that you wish to share with the 
netters, eg : alt.prose is good place to find descriptions of books reviews.

I am targetting on the flwg topics :

Education (eg : K12)
Science - Microelectronics
	 Biology
	 others ...
Manufacturing
Network (eg : fuzzy logic email-server, Texas Metronet)
Medicine
Electronic Publications/newsletters (eg : Project Gutenberg, though not a new 
development)
Environment
Legal issues
Finance (eg : Dow Jones news go on-line)
Games
New sites
Weather services
Others

I'll appreciate any pointers, directions or comments/suggestions that you may 
have.  After collating the results, I'll post a summarised report to the world. Please e-mail me at :

michelle@solomon.technet.sg

Thank you and best regards.

NOTE : Actually, the developments need not be restricted to just last year.  
If you feel that a certain development is worth commenting, I would appreciate 
it if you could mention it to me too.

In a published article there was a mention of the Internet Tour Hypercard
stack.  One way of getting this is "use the CSNET INFOSERVER" in the following
way:  as recommended, I sent a message to  info-server@sh.cs.net
with the following message in the body:

request: nsfnet
topic: internet-tour
topic: help
request: end

The end result is that the mail message was returned with the following
message:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 info-server@sh.cs.net... Host unknown

Does anyone have the correct email address or perhaps another place
to get this stack?  By the way, I don't have FTP available to me, so I
have to use mail servers.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

The information on both BT and Sprint's database is notoriously
unreliable, when I worked on building the APC's database of X.25 access
we started from those resources, but frequently the prices where a
factor of 10 off, the addresses didnt exist etc.

This is not intended as a being critical of them, they've done a great
job of collating all this information in one place, but inflation,
revolutions and the pace of change make it out of date in a short period
of time.

In general this is a good place to start looking, but check the dates on

The US dept of immigration uses slashes on the form which foreigners
fill in when visiting the US. The order on the form is dd mm yy.
Maybe they just got fed up with everybody filling in dd mm yy instead
of the US mm dd yy?
