- 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.

- 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

- 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.
