Hi Bob,

MS> ...the `FidoNet_DOS-InterNet' echo is in pretty bad shape... ...so

MS> ...i don't. I have a sloppy learning-curve these days, i don't want
MS> to invest a lot of energy... The best i'm ready to do right now is

JD> ...there's a file called olmnu117.zip that contains a bunch of shell

JD> and set it up and it can make soup packets... How it works is to
JD> make another unix utility known as uqwk interact with you...
MS> ...may not be that ready for Unix experiments but i'll certainly be
MS> happy, should i find a few more ~TelNettable~ free Unix "Shell"...
BG> (From the lack of response to my previous message on this topic, I
BG> assume nobody will be offended by my posting of this information...
Please, feel free to point at anything you believe may have slipped
thru without me noticing it... This sort of incident was already common
place on `FidoNet'; i can garantee nobody that i'll catch every thread!
8-o
BG> They are getting a bit hard to find, and many come and go...
That's certainly the case, i'm confident i can trust you on this!!!
:)
BG> ...but there are at least three well established mostly-free shell
BG> account services with telnet access. arbornet.org ...
Oh! A new one that i can add to my list, thanks very much Bob! :>
BG> cyberspace.org ...
Hummm... Wouldn't that be the one with .HTMl games!? I thought it
was closed down a couple years ago? But as you wrote: "come and go"...
BG> sdf.lonestar.org ...requires a "mini-donation"...
I remember i've been there before but the need to visit a financial
institution kills any of the chances it had to get me hooked. Sorry!...
%-)
Euh... But i can understand why this symbolic donation and i'd the
1st to try that in order to retain only "serious" users, quite probably!
%*b,
BG> Of the three, arbornet has been the easiest to get started with.
It's nice. I'm way too much involved in my hobby as it is already!
I want to feel confident it will save me time before i go the shell way.

Euh... And i'm not certain there aren't other solutions at hand...
Salutations, :)
