uCottonwood BBS is now accessable via
Telnet! Operating on All American BBS
128 v12.1b!
Telnet address is
cottonwood.servebbs.com (port 23).
A few tips:
When calling for the first time as a
new user, call with an ASCII terminal
(Hyperterminal or equivalent from a
Windows computer, or ASCII mode from a
terminal program on a Commodore).
Because AA BBS switches to ASCII mode
during the application process.
If you call in with CGTERM,
all the charachters will be reversed at
that point. Once you've set up your
account, you can call with a C=graphics
terminal program on subsequent calls.
Also, during the application, you're
asked for your phone number in U.S. or
Canada format (###-###-####). This is
used as a sort of backup ID# in AA BBS.
I don't care what number you use, but
it needs to be a number that you'll be
able to remember in the event that you
forget your assigned ID#. And finally,
if you'd like to be informed when your
account has been validated, send me a
feedback message on the BBS with your
e-mail address & I'll notify you.
Otherwise, all accounts are validated
within 24 hours (everyone gets the same
full access upon validation), so you
can just call back & enjoy your access.
Final note... It's also necessary to
tap return (or enter) upon connection,
otherwise the BBS will sometimes detect
the incorrect baud rate & transmit at
1200 baud when it should transmit at
2400. This causes a bunch of garbage
across instead of the initial welcome
message. If this does happen, just
disconnect, wait a minute or so, & call
back. When you connect, just tap
RETURN (or ENTER) once or twice, & you
should see a "2400 baud user detected"
message.
Questions? Feel free to contact me at:
wiskow@verizon.net!

Total Amiga magazine Closes down
I am or rather I was a regular reader
of this magazine. Although not a very
active Amiga user due to my Commodore
64/128 taking over, I have to admit, to
I was quite shocked when I received an
email from the editor about the
closure. The magazine was very well
edited & laid out using where possible
100% Amiga machines For anyone who
hasnt read or seen the information I
have attached the news from the
website. For me anyway its very sad
news. Well done for producing an
excellent magazine.

Subject: Amiga Future is taking over
Total Amiga
The German magazine Amiga Future is
taking over the famous English magazine
Total Amiga from issue 27.
In a very close cooperation with Robert
Williams, & the Total Amiga Team, we
have realized a concept to guarantee
the future of an English magazine for a
very long time.
Of course this will only be possible if
there are enough subscriptions all over
the time. However existing Total Amiga
subscribers will receive any magazines
left on their subscription.
Number 26 of the Total Amiga is the
last issue to be published by SEAL in
the UK.
In the near future there will be an
English release of the German Amiga
Future, which will take the place for
the Total Amiga.
The first new issue of the Amiga Future
to be published in German & English is
the number 67 for july/august 2007
(release date 5 JUL 07).
All German articles will be translated
into English, so content of both
editions will be the same.
Our intention is now to get in contact
with some more translators with English
as their native language!
Interested users, they don't have to
work for free, should call our editors
office as soon as possible!
Both issues of the forthcoming new
Amiga Future will be released at the
same time.
In other words there are no changes for
our German readers in the future, but
almost all things will change for the
current readers of current Total Amiga.
On time release every two months is one
of the important things for the Amiga
Future editors. Every issue can be
ordered directly from us or from
several Amiga dealers worldwide.
(Interested dealers please call too!)
Every magazine can be ordered as single
issue or as subscription, you choose it
with or without a Cover CD-ROM.
Because Total Amiga did not have such a
feature in the past, all current
subscribers will receive magazines
without an Cover CD-ROM. Subscribers
interested in upgrading their
subscription to include the CD can call
our office before issue 67 is released
Of course upgrading to the Amiga Future
with CD-ROM is always possible for
additional 3.- Euro every time.
Each Issue Amiga Future magazine
currently contains 52 pages, cover
pages in colour, the rest b/w. This
won't change for the future as it is an
important part of our concept. So it is
even possible to release new issues
even without any advertisers in a
single issue!
Prices had to change in comparison to
the Total Amiga because there are more
issues per year & the magazines will
now be posted from Germany. Every
English or German issue of the Amiga
Future will cost 4.50 Euro without a CD
or 7.50 with our Cover CD-ROM. All
prices plus shipping costs, e.g.
additional 3.75 Euro worldwide!
Our special subscription price is 39.90
Euro resp. 57.90 Euro for the CD-ROM
edition. Here are the shipping costs
already included!
You can see, becoming a subscriber is a
lot cheaper (and easier) than ordering
a single issue & it gives our editors
confidence in the future of the English
magazine.
We invite anyone interested in an
English Amiga magazine to order the
first issue as soon as possible or even
better subscribe to the magazine &
become a part of the Amiga Future
community. We can always only print a
small additional quantity of magazines
above those for subscriptions & pre-
orders so make sure you get your copy.
Our editors office is reachable at:
Amiga Future, Postfach 83, D-83234
Bersee, Germany. Or
http://www.amigafuture.de
redaktion@amigafuture.de
The new forthcoming English translated
issue of the Amiga Future magazine can
already be ordered in our online-shop,
the same for subscriptions with or
without the Cover CD-ROM.
If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact us via eMail or by
visiting our English section of the
website.
Of course there is even a newsletter
available, to subscription send eMail
to newsletter-subscribe@apc-tcp.de
About Amiga Future
The Amiga Future was founded about nine
years ago & has started with issue 11
by the publisher ICP (e.g. German
AmigaPlus) because of technicalities.
Now FALKE has taken over Amiga Future
magazine with its editors & AmigaPlus.
Almost seven years ago we had an buy
out & the Amiga Future was done by its
own editors. Since issue 27 the
magazine is done completely by its
editors office; writing articles,
layout & even sales & marketing!
Actually we have a safe financial base,
so even if the subscriptions get lost
it would be no reason to stop the
magazine!
Additionally there are almost daily
enhancements at the website. Besides
the biggest cheats database (over 5000
cheats for over 2000 Amiga Games) we
have a large database with over 1000
articles available online.
We have a new gallery with over 1000
Amiga related pictures. Another new
feature is our download area with lots
of full releases of famous Amiga
Software titles (Games & Applications).
We also host the very famous Big Book
of Amiga Hardware (BBoAH) updated
often.
Other enhancements for the website are
planned.
