The Internet is not the only way to go online -- bulletin boards (BBSs) can provide shareware, information and contact with other people as effectively if not on the same grand scale.

 

Australian BBS Registry
http://www.bbsregistry.com.au

Want to find a bulletin board in your area or on a specific subject? The Australian BBS Registry is the way to find it. Traditionally a bulletin board itself, it has recently expanded onto the Internet. You can also FTP to ftp.bbsregistry.com.au/bbslist. -- Link Harris

Argonaut BBS
http://www.argo.net.au

It's not unusual for a BBS to put a PR page on the Web, but Argonaut BBS is one of the few that lets surfers actually dip into the board with their Web browser. The BBS Web site is located at the above URL, however, first-time users should go via http://argo.net.au (Argonaut's public Web server), choose item two to move to the BBS and register to create a free BBS account. This lets you read messages, browse the file areas and download a limited selection. Paid members have full run of the file and message areas, and those with a Java-enabled Web browser or standard IRC client can also link up with the BBS's online chat sessions. Both BBSs are offline for weekly maintenance each Monday morning. -- Link Harris
