This file contains a list of Network addresses of some popular
services on Internet. There is no charge for the connection,
but some services may have charges.
This file contains:
* Information about telnet, mail, ftp and finger on City Net
in relation to the Internet Services Directory
* The Internet Services Directory
* A List of some Bulletin Boards on Internet
* Log of a connection to the Library of Congress in the USA
* Log of a connection to a multi-user chat system in the UK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information on accessing the services in the Internet Services Directory:
Entries marked 'telnet'
=======================
With entries in the list below marked 'telnet' --
Select the Telnet menu option and type the NAME or NUMBER
For example, the Library of Congress in the United States entry below reads:
Name IP address
vvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvv
-Library of Congress telnet dra.com or 192.65.218.43
offers: COPY of Library of Congress (Assumes terminal is emulating a vt100).
So, select the Telnet menu option and enter 'dra.com' at the prompt and
then press RETURN. City Net will look up the name in its nameserver
directory to retrieve the 'IP address' and then connect you to it.
Alternatively you may enter the IP address -- the '192.65.218.43'
number -- which is the physical network address. Typing the number is
quicker as City Net doesn't have to lookup the name. Though, the
advantage in entering the name is that the number may change.
Think of it like asking a postie to deliver a letter to your friend
Mary Rurehe in a building with several thousand offices. The postie
will look up the name and find the room number and deliver it. But
if you just say 'deliver this letter to Room 1234' the postie won't
need to look up the directory, but Mary might have shifted to another
office and thus the letter won't reach her.
After a few seconds you will be connected to the Library of Congress.
You may notice that it takes some time for your keypresses to appear,
this is because each time you press a key it gets sent:
From your terminal --> City Net --> Victoria University ...
--> Waikato University --> Hawaii --> Somewhere in USA ..
--> Library of Congress
and then back to your machine again!
The time taken varies depending on the load on the Network, though
at the moment the main part of the delay actually occurs between
City Net and Victoria University.
Notes about telnet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the entries have a number after the name, this number is the
port number, for example:
-Geographic Server telnet martini.eecs.umich.edu 3000 or 141.212.100.9 3000
offers: Info by city or area code (Population, Lat./Long., Elevation, etc).
Just enter the name and the number (or the IP address and number) at
the telnet address prompt as described above. To connect to the
Geographic Server I would select Telnet and then type
'martini.eecs.umich.edu 3000' at the prompt.
The number after the name is the port number. If you don't specify
the port number (didn't for Library of Congress) then 23 is selected
as the default. Some common port numbers are:
23 -- standard telnet session port
25 -- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - used by computers to
transfer electronic mail over Internet)
79 -- Finger (used to enquire when a user last logged in
119 -- NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocl - used by computers to
transfer Usenet news over Internet)
Disconnecting a telnet connection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most services will have a command such as EXIT, quit or similar to
leave the service and you should use one of those to disconnect
the session. If you can't find such an option, or if you get stuck,
then press Control-] (hold down the Control key and press the
Close-Square-Bracket key). You will then get the TELNET> prompt.
Type 'close' to disconnect the session.
TELNET> close <-- you type 'close'
Remote Session Disconnected <-- City Net responds
Alternatively you may type 'help' at the TELNET> prompt for a list
of options. If you have accidently typed Control-], then press
RETURN to continue with the session.
Entries marked 'ftp'
====================
Use the Ftp option on the Network Services Menu and then enter the
name or the IP address. Instructions on how to use FTP are in
network.doc.
At the username prompt type 'anonymous' and
at the Password prompt type: <username>@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz
Where <username> is the name you type at the Username: prompt
when logging into City Net.
Entries marked 'mail'
=====================
For example,
-Genetics Bank mail gene-server@bchs.uh.edu
Subject: help Offers: genetic database accessable via email.
Use the Mail menu option on the Main Menu and type:
MAIL> MAIL
To: MX%"gene-server@bchs.uh.edu"
Subject: help
Enter the message, ^Z to exit.
^Z <-- Press Control-Z to send the message.
City Net will send the message to the Genetics Bank who will then
return the appropriate information to you.
In other cases, just follow the instructions .. the only thing
to note is that you must enclose the e-mail address in MX%" ",
eg. to send to patrick@sideways.welly.gen.nz type
MX%"patrick@sideways.welly.gen.nz" at the To: prompt.
Entries marked 'finger'
=======================
There isn't a finger option on the WCC menus at present. The only
way of doing this is to enter '79' after the address name or
IP address. For example,
-Earthquake Info. finger quake@geophys.washington.edu
offers: Recent quake info (location, time, magnitude, etc.)
Select the Telnet option on City Net and enter the bit after
the @ in the name, then a space, then 79:
geophys.washington.edu 79
Once connected type quake <RETURN> or alternatively try @ <RETURN>
If you are not disconnected after the information is displayed
or if something goes wrong then Contrl-] then type close <RETURN>
(i.e., as described above in 'Disconnecting a telnet connection').
NOTES:
Sometimes Network connections to the United States break down or
the service at the other end will not be available. If this is
the case then after about

Below is a list of some Internet bulletin boards and some other
Internet services. Most of them can be reached by using the
Telnet option as described above.
Some services on this list may be out of date as the list is
several months old.
Newsgroups: alt.bbs.internet
Subject: Internet BBS list, NEW and IMPROVED!!!!!
From: tak2@Ra.MsState.Edu (Thomas A. Kreeger)
Date: 27 Sep 91 06:05:40 GMT
Lines: 423
Hello again, boy its been a long time. Well I managed to get
myself flamed with my sig, but suprisingly that problem cleared
up immeadiately.
I updated, and added to this list, so check em out everyone.
The World and Netcom were added and info was given for them,
but I don't work for these people and added them to cut down
on the request for public access unix systems. These are two
of from what I have been told, four. I don't know the other two
yet, but will add them later. I finally remembered the HP bbs
and the Picyune. I haven't changed the services, but I will be
getting together with Scott soon to check these out and compare
notes.
For the guy who asked for neat and intersting things to do with
internet, here are more than a couple of BBS's, a list of online
library card catalogs, NFSlookup, Archie, and tons'o other stuff.
let me know about any new stuff, and I have been directed to
another listing and been asked (told) to include these, so be
on the lookout.
Enough BS, here's the list.
%%%%% Zamfield`s Wonderfully Incomplete, Complete Internet BBS List %%%%%%
==============================================================================
Publishing Info: 9/26/91, with the wonderful textedit
publishing system.
Availablity: FTP or download at
Wuarchive.wustl.edu in /pub.
E-mail request at
Zamfield@Dune.EE.MsState.Edu
Posted on alt.bbs.internet,
every so often.
==============================================================================
FOREWORD:
^^^^^^^^^
The folling list has been compiled with the help of the
wonderfully generous crowd 'o folks who associate with
InterNet or UseNet. I owe them many thanks and please
keep the info coming.
I, and many others have a few things to say about these
BBS's in general. So bear with me, or skip ahead, but do
take a look later.
1). These BBS's are provided as a service to anyone
on Internet. Not just you.
2). While you may not directly pay for these services
someone does.
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
with 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 modem
thingies 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.

>>> Welcome to M-Net, America's *FIRST* Public Access UNIX System <<<
I'd like to invite you into a VERY nice Public Access UNIX System/
Conferencing System. It's called M-Net and has been around since 1982
(soon to be going on to our tenth year). M-Net is an Altos 68020 running
Altos' port of UNIX Sys-III & is the HOME of PicoSpan Conferencing soft-
ware.
We have over 200 Conferences to talk about anything from Travel to Sex,
Cooking to Driving, Flying to Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane in
an almost real-time arena. There is SH, KSH, CSH, BBS & MENU shells for
every type of user. We have write/talk/xtalk/chat for those private writes
and PARTY for those who like to talk to everyone at once (much like IRC
with 5 different channels). Trust me, theres something for everyone!
The NICE thing here is that this "Public Access UNIX System" puts the
"Public Access" back onto YOUR terminal! After running the "newuser" pro-
gram at the login: prompt you will be given a 100% ACTIVE account right
then (not in a day or two, when we can verify you).
We are what you call... "Just off the internet" and here how:
telnet 35.1.48.150 (Merit/MichNet)
Which Host? um-m-net (move to M-Net)
MichNet login: newuser (To receive working UNIX account)
If your receive "all ports are BUSY" please try again, it's REALLY
worth the wait. We currently have over 800 users and we'd like to
see YOU there too!

You are in the main gathering place, this is a large vaulted chamber, cut out
of solid rock, the chamber is large enough though to give the impression you
are not actually inside at all. There is a subdued golden light from the many
golden spheres floating high above. In the centre of the gathering place stand
a magnificent Pine tree draped with the most glorious, sparkling decorations.
Lights of every colour dance and flicker hypnotically around the tree giving
the whole gathering place an air of festive magic.
Under the tree is a huge pile of presents wrapped in shiny coloured foil and
tied with bright ribbon. Each of the parcels has a small tag attached.....
