[ Section 1 ]

SDN_CONF ECHO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the changes to  SDN in January, all SDN echo's  were scrapped in favor
of using  only one echo  named SDN_CONF or  SDN Conference.  It  seems many
sysops did not  read the SDN_SYSOP echo where changes  were announced weeks
in  advance.  If  the BBS  you log  into  for SDN  does not  have the  "SDN
Conference" echo..   drop a note to  the sysop to  get it.  He can  find it
from  Planet   Connect  Satellite  feeds  or   nodelist  Files_Coordinator,
Files_Distribution and FidoNet FILEBONE sites.



INFORMATION HIGHWAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The race to build the Information Highway is begun.  The big boys like MCI,
AT&T and cable  TV companies are off  the starting line.  What  seems to be
missing  is public  use  plans as  corperate use  plans  are getting  laid.
Unlike  the public  highway system,  which  the Information  Highway is  to
resemble, there  seems to  be a  toll both  being set  up at  all entrance.
Similar to  cable TV  we can  only hope  that the  government steps  in and
demands local public  access.  Otherwise the Information  Highway should be
named the 'Billing Highway'.  It sure is shaping  up to be a pot of gold to
many corperations.  The only ones who may be thanking Gore are the coperate
people who wil be dragging bags of money to thier banks.



SDN EXPANSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are in the process of expanding  again.  (whats new?).  We are presently
exploring  adding some  of the  major  online services  to our  disribution
efforts.   Delphi and  America  OnLine are  being  explored.   Delphi -  no
problem.  AOL  - welp..   this is  the old  Quantium interface..   it is  a
facinating service and  works well under it's Windows  version..  but there
is no  way I can  find to do scripting  or automatic uploads..   if anybody
knows a way or has any ideas..  please drop me netmail or TO: Ray Kaliss in
the SDN_CONF on Fidonet.



SDN USDN FLAGS IN THE NODELIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Fido BBS'es  receiving SDN file echo  areas are encouraged to  have the
USDN  nodelist user  flag added  to thier  nodelist entry.   This makes  it
easier for you and  others to find more convient and less  $ ways to import
SDN activity.  If your not using it now..   request your NC to plug it into
your nodelist entry.  This of course is only  for zone 1 as zone 2 does not
use the user flags, anyone know why?



FREE DISKS
~~~~~~~~~~

Intel is offering an Overdrive demo disk at 1-800-354-3112, ext.  5718


USROBOTIC'S SPONSORED FILEGATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new project ready to  go on line is a stable flow of  FDN files both ways
between Zone 1  and Zone 2.  The  project is called FileGate.   A few FDN's
are already using it and because USRobotic's foots the bill over the pond..
European  sysops  stand  to  save  a bundle  in  phone  bills.   FDN  heads
interested should contact Terence Milbourn in Zone 2 and Ray Kaliss in Zone
1 (we're in the nodelist).

FDN's already shipping via FileGate are SDN, DVN and HDN.

FileGate  policy  is   avalible  for  file-requesting  from   1:141/840  as
"FILEGATE".

Do  not netmail  USRobotic's  for information  or  connections.   It is  by
invitation only in Zone 1.




[ Section 2 ]

SDN Network Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          January 1st - SDN will be available from these sources.

* Service: Fidonet nodes.
     Form: Fidonet TIC
  Contact: Nodelist USDN or SDN user flag or your net's Files_Coordinator
  Comment: Many SDNer's use the zone 1 USDN user flag.
           Most local nets are getting on the ball and appointing
           Files_Coordinator or Files_Distribution nodes. If your net
           does not yet have this - suggest it to your NC - it is the
           future.

* Service: Planet Connect Service
     Form: Fidonet TIC
  Contact: Boyd Goodin at 1:3612/50@fidonet
  Address: Planet Systems Inc. 1065 Cosby Highway, Newport, TN 37821
     Type: Satellite
  Comment: You must have a fido node number. Planet Systems offers
           a subscription service which downlinks fidonet and other
           networks. The full Backbone and most of the Filebone
           are available.

* Service: Internet
     Form: Individual distribution files or TIC script. Both Tiers.
  Contact: Burt Juda 1:107/309@fidonet
  Address: E-mail msg to 'listproc@ftp.fidonet.org' with the first line
           of 'subscribe filebone YOUR NAME'. Be sure to subscribe from
           an Internet site and not from a fidonet system via gateway.
  Comment: SDN areas are available via anonymous-FTP from 'ftp.fidonet.org'.
           Each SDN area is in a subdirectory named the same as the AreaTag
           below the directory '/pub/fidonet/sdn'. Be sure to use BINARY
           mode when transferring files via 'ftp'. They are also
           mirrored to 'ftp.halcyon'.

* Service: BIX
     Form: Individual files only.
  Contact: ibm.utils 'listings'
  Address: BIX online
  Comment: These are presently mostly the IBM DOS files. The moderator
           sometimes does not post all the files, but most get posted.
           This is a commercial online service.

* Service: Fidonet Filebone
     Form: First Tier Fidonet TIC
  Contact: Local FB sites or obtain FILEBONE.NA listing.
  Address: -
 Comments: To avoid file dupe's with other FDNs, the FB carries only the
           original areas that are DOS programs (First tier).


* Service: *TENTATIVE* IFDC FileGate Project
     Form: First Tier Fidonet TIC
  Contact: -
  Address: -
 Comments: The FileGate is being worked on now. It is intended to
           be a cooperative pipeline between Zone 1 and Zone 2 FDNs.

THE SHAREWARE PICK OF THE MONTH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Each  month, from  the many  disks  I receive  from author's  for
     distribution through SDN, one program stands out above the others
     for some  reason.  It might  be the look or  the feel of  it.  It
     might be the smooth operation.  It  might be the unique approach.
     Although  I seldom  have time  to  really put  an application  or
     utility thorugh it's paces, I have given  this one a try and like
     it! Therefore  I pass this reccomendation  on to you to  take the
     time to download it and give it  a run.  If you like it, register
     with the author - make his day. *ray



ODYSSEY v2.00 general purpose, full featured communications from TRIUS

                               Release 2.00

                     Last updated:  October 27, 1993

Odyssey is a general purpose communications program suitable for calling
Mainframe, Minicomputer, or PC-based services and bulletin boards.

This evaluation version is full and complete; it contains no drop-dead
date or other underhanded tricks to promote registrations. The
documentation, while not as extensive as the 416-page book sent to
registered users, attempts to describe all of the features.

Features that make Odyssey stand out are:

- Instant, painless installation for most computer configurations.
  Support is included for COM1 through COM8.

- Support for modem speeds up to 115200 baud.

- Network support (Int14, FOSSIL and NASI).

- Mouse support ("bitmapped" mouse in text mode!)

- Command line history.

- Support for extended screen modes (25/43 lines on EGA, 25/28/43/50 lines
  on VGA monitors).

- MNP levels 2, 4, and 5 built into software. Can double the effective
  speed of non-MNP modems.

- 16550 UART chip support built-in.

- Very complete and accurate emulations of ANSI, Data General 200,
  TTY, DEC VT100, and VT320 terminals; VT100 and VT320 emulations
  include 132-column capability.

- Screen review (scrollback) buffer with editing and paste including
  paste to communications session. Edit and Paste can also work with any
  text file.

- A full suite of file transfer protocols - ANSI, Compuserve B+,
  SuperKermit, Xmodem, Xmodem-1k, Ymodem, Ymodem batch, Ymodem-g batch,
  Zmodem (including batch).

- All transfers execute in the background so you can prepare messages or
  even shell out to DOS while they take place. Timing tests show a 5%
  degradation of downloading and 30% degradation in formatting floppies in
  a worst-case test on a 4.77mhz 8088.

- Full Pascal-like script language with learn mode. Scripts are fully
  syntax checked before execution. There is no more powerful script
  language in the industry.

- Keyboard remapping facility to customize odd terminal emulation
  situations


Requires a hard disk and a modem.
