Came across a list of free telnet accounts - various unixes. Thought I'd send it across (those I have accts on, I've added an extra line or two) Linux - Spunge.org - RH 5.1 box on a 33.6 modem - but almost completely uncrippled. Offers goodies like zicq and netris (tetris on linux) - and is a LDP mirror. (see http://www.spunge.org for more) symonds.net - mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with yr preferred username and passwd. Wait patiently for a reply. Debian. Ravikant Rao seems to like it - I'm still waiting for a reply so can't comment :-) Other *nix - Hobbiton.org - BSD - pretty good, got a better connection and upgraded h/w now, so fast. Bonus - full of Tolkien fans <g> Telnet in and login as newuser nether.net : Pretty complete shell, though slow. It comes with three megs of diskspace. Telnet in, and log in as newuser. - solaris (with 8.9.3 sendmail - not an open relay) - also good. m-net.arbornet.org - Rubbish if you just want a shell (crippled BSD). Lynx, FTP, Telnet disabled. Basically a community network for the people of Ann Arbor, MI (which also happens to offer free telnet accts) sdf.lonestar.org : Little freenet type operation. Telnet in, and get an account. Unfortunately,. things such as FTP and Telnet are disabled, making it pretty useless. - bsd. Lousier than arbornet grex.cyberspace.org - extremely restricted accounts. (crippled, ancient unix - open relay sendmail 8.6 - so avoid it) As the name suggests (grex - latin for "flock" - from which you get words like "Gregarious" and "Congregation") it is a community net rather than a unix shell. Don't know abt these below - check them out too. nyx.net You have to snail-mail them. Not allowed much diskspace. Nyx btw is the Greek goddess of the night, who begat Moros and Thanatos (sleep and death) suburbia.net The sysadmin wrote a UNIX network-scanner, 'Strobe'. Ashpool.com You have to provide a 100 word essay on why you should have an account here. - dunno s Suresh Ramasubramanian | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 106D, Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet, Hyderabad 500038, India Phone: +(91-40)3736553/3745398 | eFax: +(1-603)590-5437 http://www.kcircle.com | http://www2.angen.net/~pegasus The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. -- C.S.
