Hello All,

SDF has put a PDP-10 running TOPS-20 online. I've already tried it and as a *NIX/BSD fan, I enjoyed tinkering around on it.

If you want to try it, ssh swc40@hie.sdf.org and 'login new new'.

Hi Sean,

can you validate me on SDF?

Well .. that is a bummer when passwords are lost.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm still waiting for my donation to go through.... you know when you want to use a system that wait is a long one.

Take care Sean.

I'll be back to talk about gopher. :)

I'm looking at joining at the $35/year level. SDF does offer unique features.

There's some gopher affectionados here in Micronet!

What features do you find interesting on SDF for that level?

I got some great tips on gopher from cool folks on the nets.
I finally got my gopher hole working. gopher://sdf.org/1/users/bbsing
Not much, but its still fun.

After get a taste of what SDF has to offer for a validated user, I might become an arpa member.

It would be neat if I could dial out using SDF. I haven't seen that ability yet.

I decided to try out SDF because a user on bottomless abyss BBS named userfxnet had a good experience there.

Is Micronet also a Unix system?

Micronet has ran under both Linux and FreeBSD before but my BBS is
running under ArcaOS currently. I have to finish rebuilding a computer
I bought for it but I may wind up running the BBS under WSeB (Warp
Server for eBusiness).

OS/2 was my first love for my BBS and it probably will be now until I
leave.
