NOT ANOTHER LIST?!?!?!?!!! A list of telnet sites available on the Internet, compiled with the help of Auggie BBS (bbs.augsburg.edu) and dozens of brave net riders. Compiled on April 18, 1993 by CC May (mcm@sunset.cse.nau.edu) (C) Copyright 1993 CC May. This document may be copied and distributed freely, provided... a) It is distributed in its entirety (quoting from it is still OK...) and b) It is not used for commerce or the purpose of making money. Unless I get some kind of small royalty. After all, in my spare time I'm a college student. :) Entries are as follows: Name of Board 44 TCP address 4 4 IP address 4 4 Login name (password, if necessary) 4 4 Services provided 4 4 0................ CC's Wish List 444444444 0.5.............. Coke Machines on the Internet 4 1................ Free BBSs on the net 4 2................ Freenets and Public Access UNIX 4 3................ For-pay BBSs 4................ Other services and tips This is a list of services, often made possible by volunteers who usually go unthanked. If you see anyone who does this sort of thing, thank them. Also, whatever you do, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HACK ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET! The hacking that has been done on the Internet has caused a great many BBSs and other sites to go down forever, and others have taken steps at making this net a little less friendly than it is now. (e.g., Nyx.) These BBSs do not have to be here. However, they still exist and literally thousands use them each day. Don't hack them, or what we now have will be history. Well, that said, on with the show... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ CC's WISH LIST /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -An encyclopedia. There are dozens of encyclopediae (is that right? My Latin is a little rusty. :) on CD-ROM, and just one would do a world of good for college students. Anyone with wishes for the Internet, feel free to mail me. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| COKE MACHINES ON THE INTERNET ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| The latest in hacker trends. :) Actually, they've been around for a little while now... These are actual Coke and M'n'M machines connected to the Internet, and when fingered, provide you with the amount of soft drinks held within. I doubt you could hack 'em, anyway... and if you could, how would you get the product? :) These are just interesting, so I put them in. Enjoy. drink@csh.rit.edu graph@drink.csh.rit.edu coke@cmu.edu @coke.elab.cs.cmu.edu bargraph@coke.elab.cs.cmu.edu mnm@coke.elab.cs.cmu.edu coke@cs.wisc.edu coke@gu.uwa.edu.au (Special thanks to alt.hackers for the info.) /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FREE BULLETIN BOARD SERVICES \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ NOTE: I have placed BBSs whose main goal is to entertain or serve as a forum for people to get together here. BBSs whose primary purpose is connectivity or services involving the INet have been placed in 'Other Services and Tips'. \\\EBBS/PIRATE BBS/// Friendlier than it sounds. Takes advantage of VT100 and up with a full-screen environment. All offer Boards (message areas), Mail, and Talk. Some offer Files and IRC connections. Auggie BBS bbs.augsburg.edu 141.224.128.3 bbs Friendly BBS. Lots of chatting on various topics, file areas, and IRC-like and realtime chat facilities. Now has 4m, a new chat network. Try it out. Eagles' Nest BBS seabass.st.usm.edu 131.95.127.2 bbs (bbs) Ask around for cute stories. :) SCF BBS freedom.nmsu.edu 128.123.1.14 bbs Uninet BBS uninet.mty.itesm.mx 131.178.51.42 bbs uninet Specializing in ecology/the environment, in Spanish. SPARCS BBS ara.kaist.ac.kr 143.218.1.53 bbs KIDS BBS kids.kotel.co.kr 147.6.11.151 kids Badboy's Inn badboy.aue.com 192.136.108.18 bbs ICU BBS amiga.physik.unizh.ch 130.60.80.80 bbs Switzerland. Achtung! Almost entirely in German... Razor BBS netrats.dayton.saic.com 139.121.26.235 bbs NSYSU-BBS cc.nsysu.edu.tw 140.117.11.1 bbs Taiwanese. Don't let the strange characters fool you. :) \\\CITADEL/// Citadel is a message-only system. Boards using this are highly active with the exchange of messages in various "rooms", sometimes as varied as MST3K>, NetLife>, and Spam! Spam! Spam!>. Plenty of information can be had on these boards, though no files are available. Another feature of these boards is that each one has added a little flavor to the stock Citadel code, so none of them are quite the same. Quartz BBS quartz.rutgers.edu 128.6.60.6 bbs Citadel The granddaddy. Interesting and spontaneous conversation found at any hour of the day or night. That is, if you can get in. :) Prism BBS bbs.fdu.edu 132.238.2.10 bbs Multi-level Citadel. Not as difficult as I had previously elaborated. :) Sunset BBS paladine.hacks.arizona.edu 128.196.230.7 bbs Another variation of the normal Citadel, somewhere between the original and DOC. \\\DOC/// Dave's Own version of Citadel. Best-known as the software ISCA BBS runs, it is a far more user-friendly system than the original Citadel. No files can be had on these, either. ISCA BBS bbs.isca.uiowa.edu 128.255.40.203 The biggest BBS on the net. Period. About 10000 active users, and often more than 300 users online at any given time. Huge areas for conversation on diverse topics. SkyNet hpx6.aid.no 128.39.145.226 skynet The accepted backup for ISCA, but is quickly coming into its own. A lot more relaxed, comparatively. CetysBBS infux.mxl.cetys.mx 158.122.1.2 cetysbbs South of the border. A lot of the posts are in Spanish, but English speakers are easily accommodated... BBSs USING OTHER SOFTWARE: OUBBS oubbs.telecom.uoknor.edu 129.15.3.15 TBBS A very attractive BBS catering to University of Oklahoma students. Offers a lot of services typical to non-Net BBSs, including Internet and FidoNet mail. Both Mac and IBM files available. Monochrome mono.city.ac.uk 138.40.17.1 mono (mono) Mail monoadm@city.ac.uk for an account. It's neat. I like it. You get to see lots of English people. BOX tolsun.oulu.fi 130.231.96.16 box Has trouble translating everything to English, but still a good board all around. DUBBS tudrwa.tudelft.nl 130.161.180.68 bbs BBS in the Netherlands with an almost-WWIV look. yabbs phred.pc.cc.cmu.edu 128.2.111.111 bbs Messages and a few text files. Lots of computing areas. tiny.computing.csbsju.edu 152.65.165.2 bbs A graphical BBS, like a hybridization of Pirate and Monochrome. Try it. The Endless Forest forest.unomaha.edu 137.48.1.4 ef A neat little hangout. CyberNet cybernet.cse.fau.edu 131.91.80.79 bbs Waffle BBS. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ FREENETS AND PUBLIC ACCESS UNIX /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Freenets are fairly new to the Internet. These services often have Telnet, full email, USA Today news and weather, and are typically set up like 'cities'. Registration is (as the name implies) free, but usually require a snail-mailed form. In much the same idea, a few boards have been set up for the public to use UNIX at no cost. Cleveland Freenet hela.ins.cwru.edu freenet-in-a.cwru.edu freenet-in-b.cwru.edu freenet-in-c.cwru.edu 129.22.8.38 The first Freenet and by far the largest. Lots of features.
