Here are two much "higher quality" (in comparison to the Rochester
Connectionists Simulator). I hope you enjoy them::

 
1.  Genesis - An elaborate X windows simulator that is particularly well 
              suited for modeling biological neural networks.  
 
              unix> telnet genesis.cns.caltech.edu (or 131.215.135.185)
              Name: genesis
 
              Follow directions there to get a ftp account from which you 
              can ftp 'genesis.tar.Z".  This contains genesis source and 
              several tutorial demos.  NOTE:  There is a fee to become a 
              registered user.
 
2.  PlaNet (AKA SunNet) - A popular connectionist simulator with versions to
              run under SunTools, X Windows, and non-graphics terminals 
              created by Yoshiro Miyata.  The SunTools version is not 
              supported.
 
              unix> ftp boulder.colorado.edu (128.138.240.1)
              Name: anonymous
              Password: ident
              ftp> cd pub
              ftp> binary
              ftp> get PlaNet5.6.tar.Z
              ftp> quit
              unix> zcat PlaNet5.6.tar.Z | tar xf -
 
              All you need to do to try it is to type:
              unix> Tutorial
 
              This will install a program appropriate for your environment 
              and start an on-line tutorial.  If you don't need a tutorial, 
              just type 'Install' to install the system and then 
              'source RunNet' to start it.  See the file README for more 
              details.
 
              The 60-page User's Guide has been split into three separate 
              postscript files so that each can be printed from a printer 
              with limited memory.  Print the files doc/PlaNet_doc{1,2,3}.ps 
              from your postscript printer.  See the doc/README file for 
              printing the Reference Manual.
 
              Enjoy!!  And send any questions to miyata@boulder.colorado.edu.
