This is my first posting of this list. First of all, I'd like to thank Tuna for the great job he did in the past and for his help getting me under speed. I'm sorry that it has taken so long make this posting, but there have been severe network problems in my site. Anyways, without further adiue: Please keep me informed about any new sites, mail-archives, IP-addresses, and directories, as well as the ones which have been removed, changed, or manipulated (enough to make this list "old"). I'd appreciate it. Since during these days I'm very busy, I have little time to read newsgroups. Therefore, please do *email* your suggestions/corrections to me. I may not see your posting. Also, if you email me something, which does not show up in the next version of the list, please don't get mad about it. My mind was probably doing something else... Remind me again... You will see a section below which is titled "CHANGES THIS MONTH". Lines in that section may start with !, -, or +. They mean "changed", "removed", and "added", respectively. The "TZ" column shows the timezone of that site. This might not be very important to people in the US, but since the sites shouldn't be used 0600-1800 local time weekdays so as not to bog things down, people in Europe should be helped by this. "e,c,m,p" means eastern, central, mountain & pacific, respectively. Sites ending with .fi is in Finland (Greenwich+2). My plan is to extend the list of mail servers and UUCP ftp sites etc., in order to enable people without access to Internet to have some sort of software source. If you operate such a server or site, please send me couple of lines describing how people can connect to it, or send requests, what kind of programs you have, whether it is also accessible via Internet anonymous ftp, if yes what the IP-address is, what the directories are etc. Include any information you think would be appropriate. I will add those instructions to the end of this list, and won't be able to check their validity (is there someone willing to make that test for me?). Internet anonymous ftp sites will be checked as before. Still, I may miss some directories or removed sites since I don't have infinite supply of time to spend on this list. So, think twice before flaming me... As you all know, Tuna set up a way for him to answer questions regarding file locations. I have set up the same mechanism and will be glad to help anyone find a specific file. I'm also making some few modifications to this setup to make it easier to locate and notice changes to the sites directory structure. I'll keep you all posted on that too. Some of the Internet sites also provide BBS service. I marked them as such. To connect to them as BBS, use 'telnet' instead of 'ftp'. Thanks very much to many people who contributed to the creation and maintenance of this list. It is in no way my original work (although I put lotsa time into it). It is just a collection of information which wouldn't be possible without those people. One last thing, I have a few more sites to add to this list. I don't have the time to track down where I wrote the information, but as soon as I do, I'll post an updated version. Be on the lookout.

Anonymous UUCP is not supported. All lines of the incoming mail message are ignored except lines that begin with either "path" or "send". (For compatibility with other servers, "help" and "index" are also recognized and are treated as equivalent to "send help" and "send index".) If a line saying "path route-from-us-to-you" is encountered, it will be used for any subsequent mail. If the path line is missing, the system will try to determine the reply address; it's pretty good at guessing, but it's not perfect. Try it initially without the path line; if you don't get an answer in a reasonable period, try again with one. We run a full domain router, so the route-from-me-to-you should be a domain address (or a UUCP psuedo-domain address) if you have one. Start with "send help" for information on how to get started. The mail server is actually the beta test version of an archive server that I hope to fill with Amiga sources and binaries. If you are interested in providing some feedback, try the requests "send help" and "send index" to see how to use it. I'd appreciate any help you can offer in getting this started. There's only about 15MB of stuff so far, so I need to make arrangements to get access to more of the comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga archives; anybody have this in a form that I can conveniently get? ================================ END OF LIST ================================= _________________________________________________________________________ | . __________ . . _________ . | | . . /___ ____/\ . / _____ /\ | Juan Orlandini (Super User At Large) | | \__/ /\___\/. / /\___/ / / | Email: juan@cc.gatech.edu | | . / / / . / / /. / / / | | |. . / / / . . / / /. / / / . | "We have not inherited this earth | | ___/ / / . / /____/ / / | from our parents, but instead | | /____/ / . . /________/ / . | borrowed it from our children." | |.\____\/ . .\________\/ . . | | |_________________________________________________________________________|
