Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.

please e-mail me the information so that I may include it in my listing.

If you are interested in viewing the listing, please feel free to call the

the new year, I would like to distribute it via the InterNet.  Please tell
me how I would go about doing so, since I have never attemted such a thing

Most of the sites directly on the internet charge for accounts -- to
recover their expenses.   Tim pays a hefty fee for an internet connections
to his house (I have no idea for the telco charges -- but the connection here
includes a leased line of 156 miles on top of the network charges)

On the other hand, I would venture to say that most of those sites who charge
offer a better connected, more reliable system to it's members -- since there
is that additional obligation of maintaining the machine.  Our machines are
up all the time, except for hardware (and kernel changes) with downtime running
maybe 2 hours every 2-3 months.

BTW: I once saw something called X-Link, I think, and have heard of 
another program called Coconet.  Information on these two programs

        DDTERM is an ANSI terminal program for Galactic Warzone.  All it 
really adds is a sector mapping utility, and it's a lot quicker.  I will try

Well..If it was up to me, I would not listen to Larry (how ever you spell his
last name).  I had a bad deal with him a while back.  I bought a hard drive
with a controller card from him.  He said that it was in perfect condition. 
When I got it, I looked it over and everything seemed to be OK, but I put it in
my machine, and it BLEW the whole motherboard!  Thanks to him, I had to buy a
whole new hard drive, wasted my $100 on the one that I bought from him, and had
to buy a new motherboard.  Oh, and he had used mail before, about 3 times to
me.

{Thank you Larry.  I am well aware of the costs involved of having an
{Internet drop.  (I have and pay for a full time drop to my house.)  But 
{this doesn't exclude some poor soul out there from offering shell accounts 
{to anyone that wants one.

Right for sure.  Check out PDaXs in Oregon.  They let you e-mail and 
post/read usenet news for free.  More features for a price.  I realize
this is not exactly what you want or where you want it, but it should
be encouraging.

  .. True, but it allows a big part of the computing community to
be able to participate in usenet, who normally wouldn't even try.

     Although you may have a bias towards Fidonet, it serves an
important purpose, linking people all over for news and mail.
