well, i am not an administrator there, but i feel at least able to
reply.
the sdf ( super dimensional fortress ) is a local unix box running
sysVr3.2 on a 386 with 8 megs. it is used by a variety of folks
from around the area. you can logon as newuser from the login
prompt, and register to get your own free shell.
the sdf has been maintained by a choice bunch of local cats for
about 5 years now, with unix being the os for over a year.
you can get mail and read news via their 2-hop link through letni
and egsner to internet. (uucp) they also provide limited feeds.
they rely totally on the contributions of users to cover phone and
maintainance/upgrade.
the level of growth and use of the sdf is but the slightest indicator
of the need for public access to internet facilities. it is time for
this access. they are working on obtaining the facilities and equiptment
to provide complete public access to internet, including telnet and ftp,
for a reasonable monthly fee. watch this group for details.
You can contact the (usually) friendly sysadms there, when the HD
feels a little better, under the following id's:
iczer@sdf.LoneStar.ORG (Ted Uhlemann, sysadm, founder )
srl@sdf.LoneStar.ORG (Steve Linebarger, sysadm, biz person)
sp@sdf.LoneStar.ORG (Steven Parker, sysadm, ol' killer hacker)
use 7-e-1 and 214-436-3281. and dont forget to donate.
