To: Linux-Announce@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU From: Matthias Gmelch Subject: linux BBS list #34 Date: 4 Dec 1993 01:14:50 +0200 Here is the latest list of Public access BBS's, and FTP Sites that carry Linux files. This list was last modified Thu Dec 2 00:12:30 1993 PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBS'S: In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number enthusiasts don't have FTP access. In fact it is possible that by now most of the Linux fans don't. So I would like to suggest that those of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux files to. I, for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBS's, and from there they the files tend to find there way to other local BBS's. I've seen posts 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 fans a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to. FORMAT: State YYY BBS Name Phone Number Modem Speed, Online time 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. German Fido: Be warned: Some Fido numbers of the german section you could not find in your nodelist, because at this time the german fido is splitted into two parts.
