Kreeger) Subject: Zamfield's Internet BBS List Message-ID: <1992Mar31.054027.20150@ra.msstate.edu> Followup-To: zamfield@dune.ee.msstate.edu Keywords: Internet BBS list Sender: news@ra.msstate.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: isis.msstate.edu Organization: The Mirrors In My Mind tell me that i am disorganized Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1992 05:40:27 GMT Lines: 702 Here it is. Later Zamfield %%%%% Zamfield`s Wonderfully Incomplete, Complete Internet BBS List %%%%%% ============================================================================== Publishing Info: March 30th 1992. Published with the Textedit text editor for X-windows. Now Available in Postscript form thanks to Interleaf. Availablity: Anonymous FTP at Wuarchive.wustl.edu in the /pub directory. E-mail requests can be made to Zamfield@Dune.EE.MsState.Edu. Posted on alt.bbs.internet twice a month. ============================================================================== FOREWORD: ^^^^^^^^^ The folling list has been compiled with the help of the wonderfully generous who associate with InterNet or UseNet. I owe them many thanks and please continue to send information. The amount of mail I recieve is enormous, and I appreciate the responses. I have a few things to say about these BBS's in general. So bear with me, or skip ahead, but do take the time to read this. 1. These BBS's are provided as a service to anyone on Internet. Not just you. This means that you should try not to dominate these sites by staying logged in continuously or repeatedly trying to gain access. 2. While you may not directly pay for these services someone does. These bbs's are run on someone else's computer, which means that someone else pays to keep it running, provide space and access, and fix problems. 3. You are a guest, and please keep that in mind while using these BBS's Okay, that wasn't so bad after all. Most of these BBS`s offer services unique to BBS'ing. Some offer small scale versions of standard Internet sevices. Keep in mind that mail or articles posted on BBS's does not reach everyone in the world, and if you can get to UseNet, you will problably find better responses. Most of the files on these BBS`s can be found by anonymous FTP, so don't tie up the system downloading files if you have FTP. Do be considerate on these BBS`s, some people aren't using Telnet or Rlogin to get to these, some people still dial numbers with modems at there homes. I'm not going to say anymore, because you can figure most of this out for yourselves. Enjoy the list and write back to tell me about these BBS`s. I want to add as much info to these as possible. A little abstract, such as services, will be great. For users of JANET (UK), you may access these bbs's through first connecting to UK.AC.NFSNET-RELAY.TELNET or PAD.UK.AC.NFSNET-RELAY.TELNET. Likewise, users of internet can get to JANET by telnet SUN.NFS.AC.UK, login as janet. Lately I have been told that the above relays don't seem to be responding. I have not been able to use the internet side, but I can't test the JANET side. If anyone knows what has happened to these services, I would love to hear about it. Something New!!!!! all sites that are prefixed with =========== and sufixed with the same thing are sites that are down and will probably be removed from this list. such as ========== Mars Hotel mars.ee.msstate.edu -- down now ========== just something new to help clear any misconceptions up. ============================================================================== 3/30/92 Zamfield@Dune.EE.MsState.Edu NAME ADDRESS LOGIN BBS Software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TEST SITE 128.2.111.40 -- This site is included to help the designer of it bbs -- software work out it's bugs.
