PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBSs:
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 BBSs, and
from there they the files tend to find there way to other local BBSs.
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
ACCESS 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:
A FidoNet BBS with the right type of front-end mailer can call other
Fido BBSs and request their mailer to send them files that they want.
All this can be done automatically. File Requests (FREQS) are basically
the FidoNet equivallent to UUCP.
