-
- A Good Start point WWW
- fantastic web site "chock full-o-nuts"
- http://www.mecklerweb.com
-
- Yes there are better sites but this one is hard to beat for a good general
- starting point for ALL types of users. Check it out - you'll like it!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Starting points for Gopher users
-
- Gopher to: liberty.uc.wlu.edu
- Washington and Lee University in Virginia, US
- - a fantastic alternative to "boom-box". Includes a WAIS-indexed database
- and provides a list of new gophers updated daily.
-
-
- Gopher to: boombox.micro.umn.edu
- - the "mother" of all gophers still maintains an impressive site. This has
- become a true Internet standard in the world of gophering. A must see.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- A brief primer for searching the Internet
-
- How do you search for things on the Internet without aimlessly surfing?
- Wandering the Internet highway is part of the fun - but sometimes you need
- specific information and can't afford to cruise all day trying to find it.
-
- Here are a few ways to accomplish a 'net search.
-
- Using Archie to search for files.
-
- A SLIP/PPP connected Mac user has GUI Archie client software that is easy
- to use and so we'll address the Unix dial up account holders. At the Unix
- prompt enter "archie -s <name of what you want searched>. This will search
- for what you entered without regard for case (capitals or small letters).
- You can also type archie prog to progress a search. Prompts for the search
- will be put up onscreen. If Archie isn't on your local server then try
- Tenetting to a public Archie site. Telnet to "archie.internic net" or try
- Telnetting to "archie.ans.net". Log in as Archie and follow the onscreen
- prompts for directions on using Archie.
-
- Using Veronica to search the Internet for resources is a farly easy
- process. Point your Gopher client to the University of Minnesota
- (gopher2.tc.umn.edu) and select "Other Gopher and Information Servers" and
- then select "Search titles in gopherspace using Veronica". There are many
- other Veronica servers out there. Try browsing any gopher until you see
- an online menu that has the "Search titles... using veronica" in it.
-
- Using Gopher to browse through "subject trees" can be just what you need
- to do sometimes. Gopher to "gopher.sunet.se" and select "Subject Trees"
- to find a long list of Internet Sites on every subject you could possibly
- imagine. Choose one that seems right and go from there.
-
- Using Hytelnet to help you search is another good idea yet it is not used
- by many Internet travellers. Hytelnet lets you surf through computers
- that are accessible via Telnet. Start your search by entering "hytelnet"
- at the Unix prompt. If you have no success then Telnet to "access.usask.ca"
- and log-in as "hytelnet"
-
- Users who have access to the Web (use Lynx if connected via dial-up shell)
- can use many web search engines. These search engines are found further in
- this document. Happy search surfing!
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Yahoo server
- Home page URL:
- http://akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/
- http://akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/Entertainment/Hard_to_Believe/
-
- Holy Cow! You'll be surfing for years from this one site alone! Very cool!
- Another GREAT place to start your net surfing adventure(s) !!!!!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Yanoff Internet list
- gopher to:
- gopher.uwm.edu
- then select /Remote Information Servers/Special Internet Connections
-
- Yanoff Internet List WWW URLs:
- Yanoff special internet connections
- http://www.uwm.edu/Mirror/inet.services.html
- http://info.cern.ch/hyper-text/DataSources/Yanoff.html
-
- These are the "premier" lists for internet travel. Always has the new
- mixed in with the old. Great if you need Mac places to visit or just want
- to find out what's new on the net. Get this once a month. The TV guide of
- the Internet!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Gopher Jewels
- gopher to:
- cwis.usc.edu
- then select /Other Gophers and Information Resources/Gopher-Jewels
-
- as it says... neat places to gopher - constantly updated and changing.

- * Mac Primo site *
- this Web site contains pointers to all sorts of Macintosh related items.
- http://rever.nmsu.edu/~elharo/faq/Macintosh.html
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Turbo-Gopher and other Mac internet utilities
- ftp://boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher
- also look in --> boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/helper-applications
-
- The "mother" of all gophers from the Univ of Minnesota.There is a whole
- host of important internet tools, like POP Mail, Sparkle and Telnet
- applications plus lots more. A must visit for any Mac user.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The basic software necessary for a Mac to "talk" TCP/IP, Apple's MacTCP
- control panel, is included with version 7.5 of MacOS. It's also bundled
- with various commercial software packages and included on the disks that
- come with some Mac Internet guide books (such as Adam Engst's excellent
- "The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh", and Adam Engst's intermediate
- level book, "The Internet Explorer for Macintosh", published by Hayden
- Books - ISBN# 1-56830-064-6).
-
- There are free implementations of PPP (Merit's MacPPP) and SLIP
- (Intercon's InterSLIP) available on the net via FTP:
-
- ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/mac-ppp-201.hqx
-
- ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/inter-slip-installer-101.hqx
-
- ftp to: ftp.intercon.com /InterCon/sales/Mac/Demo_Software
-
- For PPP
- ftp to: merit.edu /pub/ppp/mac
-
- Basically, a Mac needs MacTCP, a control panel developed to allow
- Macintoshes access to TCP/IP networks. SLIP or PPP implementations work
- with MacTCP pretty much transparently, usually as another control panel.
- Typical senario: Configure your SLIP/PPP connection with your connection
- number/modem type/passwords, make sure MacTCP is in there (2.0.6 is
- recommended), and then connect to the server! That's all there is to it;
- the config and connect procedure is a little different with teach
- SLIP/PPP program.
-
- MacTCP isn't free, but it's bundled with System 7.5 or available as
- an independent product from an Apple dealer. The upgrade patch to 2.0.6
- (you'll probably get 2.0.4 with System 7.5 or a dealer) is available on
- all major online services, and on www.info.apple.com. It's important to
- note that you can only upgrade VIRGIN copies of MacTCP to 2.0.6 (one
- that hasn't been used at all), but don't worry: detailed instructions
- come with the patch. And in case you can't get it immediately, don't fret
- version 2.0.6 offers no new features, but instead is a little more robust
- in its resolving capability, and handles some low memory situations better.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Eudora (SLIP/PPP emailer)

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Art Liaison Virtual Gallery
- Gopher to: artspeak.dorsal.org
-
- This site is just getting started so be patient - it's a project that's
- still under progress. It is a visually rich site but unfortunately the
- gopher site has you download images before viewing. A web site is planned
- but it would be nice to also maintain the gopher site as well. Many folks
- do not have access to the WWW so a gopher site alernative is always nice.
- Besides being graphically rich, there are art auction announcements, theme
- topics and classified ads section. There is also a forum where you can
- fell free to express your ideas on art related subjects. Everyone hopes
- that this site will be as good as the promise it shows now. Check it out
- and then come back and visit later - watch a fine project in developement.

- Places for Kids (of all ages)
-
- Online Book Initiative Gopher
- - WWW site -
- gopher://ftp.std.com:70/11/obi/book/FairyTales
-
- or gopher to: ftp.std.com
- select "Online Book Initiative"
-
- There's close to 100 favorite fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and these
- Grimm fairy tales are among the very best. Everything from Snow White to
- Little Red Riding Hood resides here. Text only - but who needs pictures
- when you have imagination and great stories to read. Enjoy!
- ----------
-
- Kid's Internet Delight
- http://www.clark.net/pub/journalism/kid.html
-
- A fantastically cool place for kids AND adults. There is a lot of fun to
- be had here and, my goodness, you really can have fun and explore and
- learn at the same time! Visit the Electronics Lab of the Future and all
- its gadgetry. Take a trip to the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History
- where the DNA to Dinosaurs exhibit is located (and lots more!) Then travel
- on to the Games Domain and hold on to your seat. Some of the hippest and
- coolest places to link to are here. I'm telling you - no matter what age
- you are - you'll have a blast (and actually learn something) from this
- fantastic web page. You could visit here daily and not get bored. Plenty
- of things to see and do make this another must see in your travels.
- ----------
-
- MIDLINK Magazine
- http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink
-
- This electronic magazine is designed by kids for kids. That's right - kids
- design and make up this magazine (well... they get a little help) and it
- changes every two months with each new issue. It is designed to both
- educate and entertain and each new issue contains a central topic or theme.
- Past issues are also online so you can see any you missed. Virtual trips
- and exhibits abound taking youngsters on a tour around the world to see
- many different sights and places and as they tour they learn lots about
- these places. Tons of pictures and easy to read information plus neat and
- interesting links make this a place that kids come back to time after time.
- There are also riddles and cool problems to solve on puzzle pages scattered
- about the 'zine and I doubt there is a better web page made chiefly by
- kids on the Internet. Good educational material is not always easy to find
- on that vast highway known as the Internet - so make sure your kids wind
- up steering here. A great place for teachers and adults as well. Makes a
- great educational resource for schools connected to the WWW.
- ----------
-
- Street Cents Online
- http://www.screen.com/streetcents.html
-
- A cool way for kids to learn about money. No, not like a boring "making
- change from a dollar" lesson but like an entertaining show designed to
- educate while kids have fun learning. In fact, it was inspired by a
- Canadian TV show that taught kids in a fun way all about money. Street
- Cents is more like a Consumer's Reports, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek
- and Time Magazine all-in-one for kids. Food taste tests done by kids
- and food costs plus comments about new soft drinks can be some of the
- things that are going on here. Plus other topics like TV ad exaggerations,
- annoying commercials, music (what's hot/what's not), stocks and bonds (of
- course PepsiCo, Apple and Hershey Foods (chocolate), are a few of the
- favorites to track. Other neat things like info on part-time jobs (not
- a classified section but a way for kids to learn what to expect out there
- in the working world) and online clubs really keeps kids interested
- and since it changes every week - it never gets stale. Don't be surprised
- when your kids take control of your web browser and surf to this site
- constantly to see "what's up"!
- ----------
-
- Kids Web
- http://www.npac.syr.edu
-
- This is a World Web Web electronic library for kids. Almost every resource
- a student needs is here (and I know a few adults that come here too).
- Resources like the Periodic Table of Elements, a dictionary, a thesaurus
- and lots more. There are many links to other informative resources and
- this site contains many links to other informative sites too. History
- resources, Literature resources and Science resources abound. There are
- many interactive and multimedia pages and I doubt there is a better one
- stop place to visit when you want to find out about a subject or need to
- do research for a report. Another four-star rated web site for kids.
- ----------
-
- Theodore Tugboat Online Activity Center
- http://www.cochran.com/TT.html
-
- Here's a site devoted to teaching kids about friendship, trust and the
- importance of helping others, within an interactive short story entitled
- "Thedore's Surprise Friend". This story was created especially for the
- Internet and it is very engrossing for younger kids. Theodore the Tug
- has to decide whether to greet a large and arrogant ship coming into
- Big Harbour or to hang out with his buddy Barrington Barge. Youngsters
- get to interactively help Theodore make decisions and the child's
- decisions propel the story in any number of directions. The story unfolds
- much like a large picture book and each page has a color illustration. The
- many plot possibilities will keep kids interested and they can change
- their decisions to see how the story will change. The pictures can be
- downloaded easily so kids can collect a downloaded coloring book on
- which they can color in the pages as they recant the adventure(s) of
- Theodore the Tug. This is yet another four-star rated web page for kids.
- It just doesn't get much better than this.
- ----------
-
- Global Show-N-Tell exhibition
- http://emma.manymedia.com/show-n-tell
-
- A sharing place on the web for kids of all ages to show off their projects
- and where they live to others on the net. There are students and schools
- from Fairbanks, Alaska, and many northern California and north-western US
- schools are represented here. There are also some pages that have email
- addresses on them for kids to write and make "penpals". Personally I don't
- like the idea of publicly showing a child's email address - but maybe that
- is just me. Otherwise this is a good place for kids to visit but as it is
- an ongoing project, I hope that other schools across the US would be on
- here as well. Not a four-star page but a good start for a early project.
- ----------
-
- PRESS RETURN web page
- http://scholastic.com:2005/public/pressreturn/press-return.html
-
- This is an electronic multimedia magazine that deals with various teen
- experiences. This page is created by and foe middle school and high school
- students. Each issue has a central "theme" and showcases many ideas and
- various talents that the student writers have to express. Professional
- editors and writers work hand-in-hand with the student contributors and
- the web page is very well done. It is a work in progress (aren't they all?)
- and so far seems to be both interesting, educational and fun! The pages
- are well conceived and don't take long to download even on a 14.4K modem
- connection. Highly recommended for students ages 10 - 18. (grades 6 - 12)

- MUDs and MOOs (Multi-User Domains and MUD Oriented Objects)

- Kinda like IRC on steroids. MUDs are often used as front ends for on-line
- games but can also serve as a meeting place on a network or the Internet
- where people can collaberate on projects or use as a discussion "forum".
- Many MUD environments require a Telnet session to log-in and access.
-
- MOOs integrate MUDs with the Web and thus let users interact using
- commonly found Web browsers such as Netscape, Mosaic and MacWeb.
-
- Not for the faint of heart but interest usually leads to knowledge...
- (or is that vice versa... ?)

- hour; and opportunities to discover and contribute to a budding list of
- science projects and experiments. In what must surely be one of the
- IPL's most innovative ventures, children and contribute to a budding
- list of science projects and experiments. In what must surely be one of
- the IPL's most innovative ventures, children and adults alike will be
- able to submit questions online to such world famous writers as Lois
- Lowry and Robert Cormier...imagine what it might have been like if our
- generation had the chance to talk to Dr. Seuss! Best of all, the IPL
- youth division has been able to develop their online service while
- maintaining all the excitement and energy young people have come to
- expect of a visit to the best local libraries. Talking mascots, living
- folk tales, and endless opportunities for the creative spirit...all
- these await you at the IPL youth division.

- Ready for patrons on March 17, 1995, the Internet Public Library is
- prepared to provide essential library services to a target audience
- estimated to number 1/4 of the entire American population by the end of
- the century. Chaired by an assemblage of internationally renowned
- librarians and leading information industry professionals, the Internet
- Public Library will offer an exciting vision of the library of tomorrow
- as envisioned by many of the brightest talents in the field today.
- Bringing the best features of the community library forward into a new
- technological environment, IPL seeks to challenge our thinking about new
- "communities" that will arise in the future and a broader range of
- services the library of tomorrow might provide.

- OK - so this explanation might seem a bit lengthy but this is a BRAND NEW
- venture and a full explanation was necessary. An incredible resource that
- 'netters all over the world will find useful, educational and informative!

- finger coke@mackerel.gu.uwa.edu.au
- finger cocacola@columbia.edu
-
- Don't bother leaving your dorm on a useless journey to the soda machine.
- Waste bandwidth and have fun fingering these machines to see if your
- favorite is in stock. Many also tell when the sodas were put in the
- machine so you can tell if they're cold enough and some have a themometer
- that says how cold the sodas are. Ah... the meager college existence.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- formatting, footnotes, headers and bibliographies are essential when it
- comes to writing papers. Let OWL help you out. Don't expect them to

- clips, and the entire audio track of the film in English, French, German and

- while viewing, you can "jump out" of the film to read hyper-text comments
- related to the making of the film or related to the script AND you can add
- or create your own additions to the script! A tour de force of Internetting!

- variety of antique topics but not each topic has in-depth info. There is
- also a few graphics but many are very low resolution and muddy. I hope
- the authors of this site can improve it for there is a need for a web page
- devoted to antique pleasures and antique info for collectors. For now, a
- better place to learn and inquire about antiques is the Usenet newsgroup:
- rec.antiques Here you will find better and more relevant information.

-
- PGP Telnet site
- Telnet to: net-dist.mit.edu
- log-in as: "getpgp"
- You will be asked four questions and then be told where to get the latest
- version of PGP via anonymous FTP. If you are not an American citizen an
- Archie search is the recommended way to find PGP. Do an Archie search for
- pgp262 ("archie -s pgp262") Or try an Archie search for pgp2.3 or 2.3a. If
- that still doesn't retrieve anything as a last resort try a search on "pgp"

-
- Written by Don Farmer formerly of Silicon Graphics Inc., and CERT.
- SATAN (a freeware Unix based utility) scans networks looking for
- vulnerabilities and misconfigured ftp setups, mail gateways and servers.
- A "must have" for all who administer networks of any kind. Especially
- networks hooked into the Internet. SATAN can uncover and detect security
- flaws on WWW servers, anon FTP servers and POP mail sites. Hosts with
- security holes were flagged and then a linked list of on-line docs
- was provided by SATAN with recommendations and solutions for fixes.
- SATAN uses a WWW browser for it's interface and requires Perl Version 5.

- Business Sources on the Net Gopher
- Gopher to: ref-mac.kent.edu
- select "Business Sources On The Net" from the menu list.
- (note: alternative BSN site - ftp to: zeus.kent.edu)
-
- Be certain that you carefully read the document titled "An Introduction to
- BSN" before going further through the BSN gopher site. The ftp site only
- archives the documents and is not as concise or informative as to how best
- to use the archives/resources. Before you use the ftp site - get a "handle"
- on how BSN works by using the gopher. Actually, the gopher address is
- highly recommended over the ftp archive site. There are over 200 other
- business related gopher links in the BSN gopher and the business related
- gopher list goes on for more than 72 pages! Included topics at BSN are
- Small Business, Management, Managing non-profit and charitable orgs,
- Accounting and accounting procedures and practices, Taxation laws and how
- these rulings affect business issues. Other topics include how businesses
- can effectively deal with "public policies", societal trends and environment
- or "green" issues. This BSN gopher is HIGHLY recommended destination for
- any business Internet traveller. No lay-overs in Dallas-Ft. Worth !
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Internet Advertising FAQ
- Gopher to: gopher.fonorola.net
- Select "Internet Business Journal" (good reading also) and then select
- "Internet Advertising FAQ"
-
- This resource is there to provide business users for effective strategies
- for advertising on the 'Net (netvertising). The empahasis here is that
- unlike most mass-media advertising that relies more on image and flash
- than substance, netvertising is a whole new market that needs to be "info-
- tained". This means that effective netvertising must be intelligent and
- provide useful information. There is much for business to learn here as
- the Internet is NOT a friendly place for commercial interests that wander
- into the wrong place or try to pitch their sales the wrong way by
- thoughtless SPAM techniques or ill-designed high bandwidth web pages. This
- is a must visit for anyone seriously considering doing business on the net.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Cyberpreneur's Guide to the Internet
- Gopher to: una.hh.lib.umich.edu
- select "inetdirstacks" then select "cyberpreneurship"
-
- WWW page: http://asa.ugl.lib.umich.edu/chdocs/cyberpreneur/Cyber.html
-
- This is an excellent gopher resource for the individual or company either
- starting a plan for doing business on the Internet or that already have
- commercial ventures or are presently doing business on the Internet. This
- gopher resource provides a huge compendium of Internet business related
- information. E-Mail lists, other gophers, Web pages, newsgroups and a host
- of other pointers for the online entrepreneur. The site is well organized
- and broken down into areas or topics. The WWW address version of CGI is
- a graphical version of the gopher with many links to other resources.
- Either going through the CGI gopher or surfing to the CGI web page will
- take the budding or flowering entrepreneur on an informative ride through
- a plethora of vital information. Highly recommended site for business.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Small Business Help Center
- http://www.kclink.com/sbhc/
-
- An often over-looked WWW site that has pointers and info for operators of
- small businesses or that plan to start a small business. Worth a look-see.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Small Business Administration Home Page
- http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov
-
- Offers information on the SBA's mission and overview of the SBA. Information
- links and addresses and phone numbers of local SBAs is included on this web
- page. SBA events and seminars are also offered. The SBA can help you finance
- and start a small business and you'll want to check out all your options -
- right? So make plans to visit this page - it's graphical interface helps to
- make the information interesting and well... fun. In fact if you plan to
- do business on the Internet, take note of how this well written home page
- is done. This is another HIGHLY recommended info-stop for the business
- traveller. Many interesting features of the home page should be noted by
- the user. Point and click maps, etc, show that the SBA knows its net stuff!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Mother Lode of Advertising, Promotion, Sales, Planning, Analyis &
- Marketing Materials, Usefull and useless information, Reports, White Papers
- and other Assorted Stuff - Home Page
- --> access via WWW to: ftp://ftp.crl.com/users/ro/csharrow/homepage.html
-
- Not only is the title of this page a "mother-lode" the information that is
- within this web page is staggering. It is almost too much information and
- some of it is widely spread over many links. If you want clear and concise
- information - don't surf here. But if you want to explore and link to many
- alternative sources of information then this is the place to be. There are
- so many topics and resources to explore that you should plan to spend a
- while at this site. Often informative and interesting this site offers a
- lot for the business user as well as the casual 'net surfer.

-
- Big Dreams newsletter
- http://www.wimsey.com/~duncans
-
- Duncan's enthusiasm and off-beat style is infectious. Sometimes informative
- and often funny he gives a humorous approach to offering valuable info.
- Tongue in cheek articles along with analogous snippets will keep you reading
- 'till the wee hours of dawn. Take what he says with a grain of salt but for
- the cost of a newsletter subscription (free) why not give it a try? You
- might like it. Not for everyone - but then - what is? If you can read
- between the lines - there is a lot of sound advice in his humor.

- This "BIGSurf List" of Internet Travel Destinations was collected, written
- arranged and maintained by Blue Savannah! and Pinochle: co-founders and the
- "keepers" of the Usenet Newsgroup ---> alt.sys.mac.newuser-help
-
- BIGSurf Net-List vol #1 April 1995
-
- This list although general in nature contains many specific places
- for Macintosh users to go to get information and related software for
- their computing interests. We hope that all Internet travellers enjoy
- this list and enjoy their travels. Surf's Up !
-
- This list is not meant to be a complete listing of Internet sites nor is
- it meant to be an exhaustive compilation of everywhere there is to go on
- the Internet or a complete directory of Internet sites. It is merely designed
- to provide YOU, the Internet traveller, interesting places to surf and visit.
-
- We truly hope that you find this "BIG-SURF List" enjoyable and informative.
- Suggestions are welcome and can be sent via email to the authors.
- (Pinochle is especially interested in any new sites and/or suggestions to
- improve this list).
-
- If you have a particular Web, gopher,ftp or any Internet site that YOU feel
- is a great place to visit or has unique items or Mac specific information
- then send to us via email - or better yet - Visit our newsgroup and
- post a message pertaining to a cool and breezy site. We love information
- accessed through tasty packet waves.
-
- Future editions may contain more Mac specific sites relating both to
- Information and software (i.e Adobe home page, MacHTTP home page and
- other software vendor and publisher or software support home pages.)
- Also planned is a more organized approach to presenting this list -
- either through alphabetical structure or a listing by topic. In any
- case - we stil hope that this list in its present format is both
- enjoyable and informative.
-
- Don't forget - even users with Unix dial-up connections (non SLIP/PPP)
- can access and enjoy many of the World Wide Web pages listed here with
- Lynx (available on most Unix platforms). You may not get the whiz-bang
- graphics but the essential information will be there and you'll still
- be able to "link" to other sites via hot-spots on Web pages.
