Does any one know of any unix computer I can telnet to that I can
be fingered, talked, write, etc... From my current account at
spies.com, I can not be fingered from the outside and I would
like to be. Does any one know where I can get a freenet account
where I can use the listed commands and be fingered?

A friend of mine has a BBS of his own and would like to find out what he'd have
to do to carry INTERNET.
  I would appreciate any information you could give me that would help him to
achieve this. He is located in the Northern part of Indiana.
 Would he need to have a certain kind of BBS to do so? Who would he contact?
Currently he has fidonet but knows nothing about the Internet.
Any information or help on this would be deeply appreciated. I will see to it
that he recieves all the info you send me.
  Please send all replies to me email.


Thank You in advance for your help.

I'm not certain all telnet's support this (probably not) but try:

if you can use rlogin that's probably easier:

	rlogin hostname -8

Some colleagues are flying out to Cameroun, Central Africa, next month 
to conduct some research at the University of Yaounde, Cameroun.  They 
are taking a PC with them.  Does anyone know if the University of 
Yaounde is hooked up to Internet?  or if there is any way I can find 
out (short of flying out there myself to look over their system)?

Our guest researcher says there is a CS department at UYaounde, but 
knows no one there, and can't say what sort of networking services are 
available.

Any information (IP address, FAQ's, names of gurus) will be immensely 
appreciated.  E-mail responses preferred.

One strategy that often works is to explicitly route your call through
a long-distance carrier.  For example, dial 10288-1, then area code and
number, thus routing the call through AT&T.  This is legal.  Although
the FCC won't allow long-distance carriers to advertise that they can
carry such calls, it doesn't prevent them from actually doing so.  (I
am tempted to find an analogy with jury nullification.)

That's because it's within state (Kansas to Kansas).  That

A search through the WAIS domain-organizations database did not find any

likely to not be very helpful for your friends.

There are a few UUCP sites and a few more Fido BBS's scattered through

Minus the $80, I'd call it.  :-)

Summary: My 800 number might be your toll call.

Another thing about 800 numbers that makes it difficult to post a guaranteed,
fool-proof access to a bbs is the fact that the area serviced by the
number is not always nationwide, as anyone in Hawaii or Alaska knows.

Hawaii has a gov't sponsored bbs which is accessable by a *statewide*
800 number, but I'm sure that it cannot be reached by 800 number outside
the state. (The bbs was great for people who lived on islands with too
small of a population base to develop any interesting forums. Sadly,
one very immature grandmother who *loves* the power of words and the
press intimidate the sysop into shutting down the forum, effectively
killing a very good bbs. It still has downloads and private messages,
but the open public exchange of ideas, which make a bbs such a powerful
agent of social good or evil has is a casualty of arrogance and
gutlessness. Auwe

Try "stty raw pass8 ; telnet <host>".  Also "stty raw pass8 ; sz" or whatever  
on the remote end.

In other words, it might not be telnet's fault; it could be the tty driver  
doing I/O processing.  "stty raw pass8" should disable that.

And of course, "set binary" from within telnet can't hurt.

Good luck!

Assuming the person you're seeking is IP connected, you could use
NetFind:

rlogin bruno.cs.colorado.edu -l netfind
telnet bruno.cs.colorado.edu (login as "netfind")

I have found this to be useful in the past.

As for Manchester: umist.ac.uk and man.ac.uk may be starting points.

American Chemical Society does have a 1-800 toll-free bbs for their members
to call. There are only two problems.

1. You need to pay something like $80 a year to be a member.
2. From what I can tell, nobody calls that bbs. ACS once was looking for
ways to encourage their members to call (without success). When it is

I run a PC-based BBS using VBBS, which is on the Internet.  VBBS has an
interface that supports UUCP mail and newgroups; it's based on the
implementation of UUCICO, RMAIL, RNEWS, and UUXQT that come with Waffle.
There  are other "gateway" products out there, particularly for Fido
technology.  Most of the shareware gates use the Waffle I/O stuff . . .
