WHERE TO GET SDN FILES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Service: Fidonet nodes.
Form: Fidonet TIC
Contact: Nodelist USDN or SDN user flag or your net's Files_Coordinator
Comment: Many SDNer's use the zone 1 USDN user flag.
Most local nets are getting on the ball and appointing
Files_Coordinator or Files_Distribution nodes. If your net
does not yet have this - suggest it to your NC - it is the
future. If you are importing SDN into your net let your net's
Files_Coordinator know about it. Also let your net's sysops
know they can get it from you - share.
* Service: Planet Connect Service
Form: Fidonet TIC
Contact: Boyd Goodin at 1:3612/50@fidonet
Address: Planet Systems Inc. 1065 Cosby Highway, Newport, TN 37821
Phone: 615-623-4694
Type: Satellite
Comment: You must have a fido node number. Planet Systems offers
a subscription service which downlinks fidonet and other
networks. The full Backbone and most of the Filebone
are available. The FileGate is in the works at this date.
* Service: Internet - Fidonet site
Form: Individual and Fidonet TIC script. Both Tiers in .arj compression.
Contact: Burt Juda 1:107/309@fidonet or ftp.fidonet.org
Address: E-mail msg to 'listproc@ftp.fidonet.org' with the first line
of 'subscribe filebone YOUR NAME'. Be sure to subscribe from
an Internet site and not from a fidonet system via gateway.
Comment: SDN areas are available via anonymous-FTP from 'ftp.fidonet.org'.
Each SDN area is in a subdirectory named the same as the AreaTag
below the directory '/pub/fidonet/files'. Be sure to use BINARY
mode when transferring files via 'ftp'. They are also
mirrored to 'ftp.halcyon'. Files are not held long as the
purpose of this site is BBS sysop timely pickup.
* Service: Internet - Simtel, The Coast to Coast Software Repository (tm)
Form: ZIP format. All files.
Contact: 50 mirrored sites throughout the Internet
Address: OAK.Oakland.edu or http://www.acs.oakland.edu
Comments: Not all SDN files are posted here. Try to log in at a mirror site
and not clog oakland's lines. SDN files are put into
appropriate existing directories along with files from other
sources.
* Service: BIX
Form: Individual files, distributed by authors request.
Contact: ibm.utils 'listings' or 'wix/' forums.
Address: BIX information 1-800-695-4775
Comment: These are presently mostly the IBM DOS files. The moderator
sometimes does not post all the files, but most get posted.
This is a commercial online service. This is not in Fido format.
SDN is posted in ZIP format here. Authors must request BIX
posting.
* Service: Fidonet Filebone
Form: First and second Tier Fidonet TIC. All files.
Contact: Local FB sites or obtain FILEBONE.NA listing.
Address: -
Comments: These Fidonet sites can often be identified through nodelist
flags or in FILEBONE.NA sent around periodically.
* Service: Fidonet IFDC FileGate
Form: First and Second Tier. ARJ compression. All files.
Contact: FileGate Node in your Zone
Address: IFDC's FileGate Info BBS 203-634-0370
Comments: Check in your Zone for FileGate listings. The international
node for IFDC's FileGate information is at The SDN Project
BBS 203-634-0370 in the United States.
* Service: America OnLine
Form: ZIP format, distributed by authors request.
Contact: America Online
Address: Sign up information is 1-800-827-6364
Comments: Posted in the appropriate forums. AOL's priority of posting
is:
First Choice = directly from the author.
Second Choice = re-distributer (SDN).
Third Choice = from user uploads.
As far as I know, SDN is the only electronic distribution
network that regularly supplies AOL. Moderators of course
apply their own criteria as to what will be posted.
* Service: NovaLink Interactive Networks
Form: ZIP format, distributed by author request.
Contact: NovaLink information 1-800-274-2814
Address: Most major cities.
Comments: SDN files are dropped off to the PC forum and split up to
more appropriate forums from there.

their respective owners.
