- National ROS Network
- List #08
- October 1, 1986
-
- The SYSOPS utilizing ROS (Remote Operating System) have united their
- efforts to better serve their users and formed the ROS NETWORK. This
- listing provides both the ROS# and system information for each system
- participating as of OCT. 01, 1986. On each of the National ROS
- NETWORK systems, a file area named RNET1086.lbr will carry this list,
- a file named ROS-SYS.NEW for new system applications , a file named
- RNET1086.LTR , the ROS-NET newsletter.A file named ROSDIRxx.LBR where
- xx denotes one of 6 US and 3 Canadian areas (NE,SE,SC,NC,SW,NW,EC,CC,
- or WC) to make finding files on this huge system much easier will have
- directories for the local area .
-
- The main effort of the ROS NETWORK is to better support each of our
- members by providing a co-operative listing of files available, ROS
- News and program updates. Each of the participating SYSOPS wish to
- express their gratitude for the outstanding contribution made by Steve
- Fox. From his unselfish expertise, time and talents, ROS was written
- and placed into the Public Domain. There is now ROS-PC , a share-ware
- PC version of ROS.Most ROS-NET boards will have both versions available
- for download and will aid in setting up ROS boards.
-
- The ROS NETWORK is to benefit the end user - to that end, please
- feel free to comment on any area which could serve you better.
-
- Beginning with this net list, the version of ROS each member is
- using will be listed with their system description. There is now a list
- of boards previously running ROS and having ROS support files and lists
- available.There is also a list of known ROS boards not yet on the ROS-
- NET.Any of these not wanting to be on the net at this time will have *
- after the number.Any boards accessable by PC-PURSUIT will have ** after
- the number.Please recruit any ROS boards you find or aid to start for
- the ROS-NET and report any changes in your boards or the version you are
- running to the area collection point.We are still looking for vollunteers
- to be collection points for SC,NC,EC,CC,WC.
-
- This is official notice that beginning with the November list any vacant
- ROS-NET numbers will be re-assigned.All systems running ROS-PC will be
- noted as such.All others are running cp/m versions and any special changes
- made by the sysop will be noted.If you have any changes not listed tell
- us so we can list it and make it available for others to use.

-
-
- To aid in the growth of the ROS-NET and to cut down on the cost of
- transfering files to other ROS-NET sysops we should start taking
- advantage of the PC-PURSUIT service provided Telenet.this is a night
- and weekend program that for $25 sign-up and a flat $25 per month
- provides unlimited use 6pm to 7am weekdays and all weekend.it provides
- 2-way service from the local calling areas of 14 cities nationwide
- (Atlanta,Boston,Chicago,Dallas,Denver,Detroit,Houston,Los Angeles,
- Newark,New York,Philadelphia,San Francisco,Seatle,Washington,DC)and
- one way service from the local calling areas(unless you are willing
- to call longdistance)of thousands of Telenet nodes.if you are not
- in one of the 14 cities and want to see if you are in the local
- calling area of a Telenet node call 1-800-368-4215 for info or to
- sign up.in Va.(703) call689-5700.ROS#19 has a list of telenet nodes
- also if you want to leave a message on his board.we should recruit
- an easy to access board in one of those 14 cities to use as a
- transfer point for the net.PC-PURSUIT membership will mean a sysop
- can economicly obtain the latest files and transfer the ROS programs
- to boards nationwide.there are a lot of boards that are little used
- and the sysops would welcome more callers especialy sysops that share
- files.to get free board listings and lists of local exchanges you
- get 10 minutes free time on 2 info boards 1-800-835-3001 or
- 1-800-222-6021 24 hrs.these are Fido boards and are down for Fido-net
- transfers in the wee hours.as soon as possible a library containing
- a list of boards in the 14 cities,a two part list of local exchanges
- in those areas,and a file called access that has instructions for using
- a toll-free telenet service that gives listings of local telenet node
- numbers in any area code you give,will be distributed to all ROS-NET
- boards.the name of that library will PCP-INFO.LBR.
-
- Because there are so many existing ROS boards that we have not contacted
- we will attempt to list those names and numbers as we come accross them.
- if you know of a board running any version of ROS please share the number
- and make sure the sysop gets a current copy of RNETxx86.LBR.
