Healy Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce Subject: Linux FTP and BBS List #28 (LONG!) Followup-To: comp.os.linux.misc Date: 5 Sep 1993 22:35:59 GMT Organization: None Lines: 480 Approved: linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu (Matt Welsh) Message-ID: <26dpkf$j3m@samba.oit.unc.edu> Reply-To: Zane H. Healy NNTP-Posting-Host: calypso.oit.unc.edu Keywords: FTP, BBS list, distribution Originator: mdw@sunSITE Here is the latest list of Public access BBS's, and FTP Sites that carry Linux files. This list was last modified 03 SEP 93. PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBS'S: In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number enthusiests don't have FTP access. In fact it is possible that by now most of the Linux fan's don't. So I would like to suggest that those of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux file's to. I, for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBS's, and from there they the file's tend to find there way to other local BBS's. I've seen post's about the future of Linux etc., well here is a way to help guarentee it. I think it's safe to assume that most people with FTP access also have a modem. So how about doing other Linux fan's a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to. FORMAT: State YYY BBS Name Phone Number Modem Speed Rating City Other data RATING SYSTEM: 1 -- Only enough the most basic of files 2 -- The basic's and a little more 3 -- So, so 4 -- A respectable amount 5 -- Pretty much everything you need ADDITIONAL INFO: YYY -- Either a Yes/No/? answer to the question ||| ||Free access to Linux files |Allow file requests (FidoNet) First time D/L of Linux related files File Requests: FidoNet BBS's with the right type's of front-end mailer's can call other Fido BBS's and request their front-end mailer to send them files that they want. All this can be done automatically. File Requests (freqs) are basically the FidoNet equivallent to UUCP.
