It requires System 7 and DESC: MacTCP 1.1 or later. Archie is a way of finding and fetching files DESC: available for anonymous ftp given part of their name. Unfortunately DESC: many Archie servers are a bit on the flaky side, but don't worry, DESC: just try another server! Features - Queries Archie servers and DESC: lists results. Fetches files from the list with just a DESC: double-click. AppleScritable and recordable. You can fetch&store DESC: files and listings using AppleScript independently of archie. Uses DESC: Fetch’s “Suffix Mapping” to determine file type and transfer mode. 66 Archie 1.0.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 12-27-1993 DESC: Archie 1.0 - Archie is client-server system that allows you to query KEY: Archie 1.0.sit KBytes: 45056 DESC: a database containing entries for files available via anonymous DESC: FTP. Archie was concieved and created at McGill University. Archie DESC: queries a database using Clifford Neuman's Prospero protocol. DESC: Requests are handled by a server in a queued fashion. Be prepared to DESC: wait from minutes to hours for a response. Using Archie - Archie DESC: requires MacTCP to be installed on your machine. It has been tested DESC: only on machines running system 7 and MacTCP version 1.1. Archie DESC: 1.0 works with the new version software being run on most Archie DESC: servers (version 0.9 doesn't). 64 Chat 1.10.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-28-1994 DESC: Chat 1.10 - Chat is a background only application that lets Macs KEY: Chat 1.10.sit KBytes: 17408 DESC: with MacTCP 1.1 serve as a very primitive IRC. Once Chat is running DESC: on your mac, multiple people can Telnet to port 1420 on your mac and DESC: have online discussions. Chat has no macintosh user interface, the DESC: only way to use it is by telneting to your mac. I wrote this to DESC: hold the weekly online meetings of the TopSoft group, which have DESC: proved very successful. Chat can support upwards of 12 users with DESC: the current memory partition (200k), and can support an arbitrarily DESC: large number of users given enough memory (though MacTCP will DESC: probably blow up if you try too many). Add about 5 or 10k for each 62 Emailgate 0.63.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-28-1994 DESC: Emailgate 0.63 - Emailgate ver 0.63 (c) Mikael Fredriksson.

DESC: 53 FTPd 2.20.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 11-10-1993 DESC: FTPd 2.20 - FTPd is a Macintosh implementation of the Un*x FTP and KEY: FTPd 2.20.sit KBytes: 197632 DESC: Gopher server protocol. It should be compatible with most FTP DESC: clients, and all gopher clients. Basically it allows your mac to DESC: act as an FTP server so you can access your files from anywhere DESC: around the world. Obviously there are some serious security DESC: considerations you should look in to before using this software DESC: (see the Security Considerations section). FTPd requires System 7, DESC: MacTCP 1.1, and File Sharing enabled. It honours the Users&Groups DESC: privileges and passwords, and supports multiple logins, anonymous DESC: FTP, as well as MacBinary and BinHex transfers, and the “MACB” FTP 52 GopherApp 1.1b36.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 11-20-1993 DESC: GopherApp 1.1b36 - GopherApp is an Internet information service KEY: GopherApp 1.1b36.sit KBytes: 178176 DESC: program for Macintosh computers. It provides a Finder-like link to DESC: the range of Internet Gopher services. To use GopherApp, your Mac DESC: must have a network connection to the Internet, and it must have DESC: MacTCP installed and operating (as with NCSA Telnet, Eudora, network DESC: news and similar MacTCP-based Internet programs). You can also use DESC: GopherApp over telephone lines when MacTCP has a SLIP interface and DESC: you dial-up to a Serial Line IP server. GopherApp.Help is a plain DESC: text file which may be read with your favorite word processor if you DESC: have problems getting GopherApp to work. Gopher works with System 7 50 Hotlist2HTML 061.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-28-1994 DESC: Hotlist2HTML 061 - The program Hotlist2HTML converts a MacMosaic KEY: Hotlist2HTML 061.sit KBytes: 59392 DESC: Hotlist (resource) file to a HTML-page, wherein each URL of the DESC: Hotlist is associated with it's corresponding Menu-Item name.

Dr. DESC: St. George says this document, "began as an effort to provide DESC: additional service to the network community locally. However, it DESC: became apparent that the library resources were of broader appeal DESC: than that." It contains a listing of over 100 online library DESC: catalogs and databases available within the United States and DESC: beyond. It contains listings of U.S. and international library DESC: catalogs and databases, dial-up libraries, Campus-Wide Online 34 InterNews 1.0.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 11-20-1993 DESC: InterNews 1.0 - InterNews is a Macintosh interface to the Internet KEY: InterNews 1.0.sit KBytes: 445440 DESC: world of Usenet News. The Usenet News manages text articles written DESC: by people at educational, commercial, and government institutions DESC: around the world. These articles are organized into "newsgroups" DESC: that focus discussions into specific topics across the whole DESC: spectrum of human experience - serious technical discussions, DESC: political opinion, items for sale, financial advice, personals, DESC: humor, and more. InterNews provides easy access to this Usenet DESC: world of discussion, which has traditionally been available -- DESC: through a command-line interface -- only to users with accounts on 33 Ircle 1.5.1.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 12-27-1993 DESC: Ircle 1.5.1 - ircle is an IRC client program that lets you talk with KEY: Ircle 1.5.1.sit KBytes: 86016 DESC: people all over the world via the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network. DESC: All you need is a Macintosh with a network connection and the DESC: MacTCP driver, and you have to be able (technically) to connect to DESC: an IRC server. New to this version, the handling of the Preferences DESC: file has been changed - it is now a text file, much like NCSA DESC: Telnet's sets. You can edit this for autostart commands like a Un*x DESC: .ircrc. The windows along with size and positions, as well as DESC: notify and ignore lists, are stored with the other options in this DESC: file (choose "Save Set" from the menu and take a look at the 32 LeeMail 2.0.3.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 12-07-1993 DESC: LeeMail 2.0.3 - LeeMail 2.0.3 is a Macintosh mail program which uses KEY: LeeMail 2.0.3.sit KBytes: 158720 DESC: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and the Post Office DESC: Protocol (POP) to send and receive mail on a peer-to-peer basis DESC: with Macs, workstations and mainframes. LeeMail requires the use of DESC: MacTCP, which is available from Apple. Since LeeMail uses SMTP to DESC: transfer mail, LeeMail is ideal for mixed platform environments. DESC: LeeMail’s excellent Macintosh interface also makes it ideal for DESC: MactoMac mail. However, SMTP does not include any storeandforward DESC: capabilities, so your Macintosh must be up and running to receive DESC: mail using that protocol. If your Mac is often turned off, you will 31 Mac-ftp-list 382.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-09-1994 DESC: Mac-ftp-list 382 - This is the latest version of this report (Jan 3, KEY: Mac-ftp-list 382.sit KBytes: 16384 DESC: 1994) and should replace the previous version of mac-ftp-list.txt.

It lists a good number of mac anonymous DESC: ftp sites with notes on some and a little blurb on how to use DESC: anonymous ftp, also contains power user notes. Changes - DESC: rusmv1.uni-stuttgart.de is now ftp.uni-stuttgart.de; DESC: wuarchive.wustl.edu information is changed. pomme.src.umd.edu moved DESC: to the 'These sites have a lot of files, but do not get much new' DESC: list. gzip {.z/.gz} format added to table. Added sites - 30 MacHTTP 1.2.1.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 01-26-1994 DESC: MacHTTP 1.2.1 - MacHTTP is a server for Macs participating in the KEY: MacHTTP 1.2.1.sit KBytes: 69632 DESC: World Wide Web (WWW). It allows you to serve hypertext documents to DESC: other WWW users from your Macintosh. This version allows you to DESC: serve text documents (like HyperText Markup Language documents) as DESC: well as binary files (GIFs, for instance). In addition, MacHTTP DESC: supports the execution of AppleScripts that can return HTML. This DESC: allows you to generate documents on the fly from data base queries, DESC: etc. This server works with the standard WWW clients as well as DESC: clients like Mosaic that support embedded graphics and it supports DESC: HTTP version "0.9". The server places a very small load on your Mac, 29 MacMail 1.0.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-09-1994 DESC: MacMail 1.0 - MacMail is a simple program designed to convert a KEY: MacMail 1.0.sit KBytes: 32768 DESC: unix-style mail file to a series of text files. Each message is DESC: written to a file, with the letter's subject becoming its file DESC: name. To use MacMail, first you need to download your unix account's DESC: mail spool file. This will usually be in the directory DESC: /usr/spool/mail and will have the same name as your login id, i.e. DESC: if you are plambert@cse.psu.edu your mail file will be DESC: /usr/spool/mail/plambert. Then, run MacMail and open this file with DESC: it. You will be presented with a Save dialog box for each message DESC: that appears in your mail file. The suggested name is taken from the 28 MacPPP 2.0.1.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 11-20-1993 DESC: MacPPP 2.0.1 - MacPPP is a Macintosh implementation of PPP, the KEY: MacPPP 2.0.1.sit KBytes: 44032 DESC: Point-to-Point Protocol, which allows you to use TCP/IP DESC: (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) over asynchronous DESC: serial lines. MacPPP makes it possible for your Mac to act as a DESC: host on the Internet, and, therefore, as a peer with other host DESC: computers around the world. This means that you can use telnet, FTP, DESC: Gopher and WAIS clients, and other services directly from your DESC: Macintosh. To use MacPPP, you must be dialing into a terminal DESC: server that is capable of supporting PPP, such as a Merit/MichNet DESC: Secondary Communications Processor.

It will connect to a remote NNTP server and download DESC: all the articles in a specified set of Usenet newsgroups which have DESC: arrived after a specified time (normally the last time MacSlurp was DESC: run). The news is delivered in a batch format suitable for DESC: unbatching by ToadNews, or reading with uAccess. MacSlurp then DESC: finds all the articles you've posted on your Mac, and sends each of DESC: them to the server. The posting application can be rnMac, DESC: TheNews-UUCP or uAccess. If you read Usenet news on your Macintosh, DESC: and your connection to your newssource is a slow TCP/IP 23 MacTCP-Watcher.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 05-14-1993 DESC: MacTCP-Watcher - MacTCP Watcher displays the internals of MacTcp, KEY: MacTCP-Watcher.sit KBytes: 65536 DESC: including a list of all current connections and information on them.

To launch this program, your Mac must be hooked up to DESC: the internet, and have MacTCP installed. The help documentation is DESC: inside of the program. When you double click NCSA Mosaic, it will DESC: call through the internet and log you on to the Help screen. You DESC: can then click on any blue word to find out more, and probably call DESC: another internet service. You'll be zipping all over the world DESC: without even knowing it. Through Mosaic, you'll have access to the DESC: World Wide Webb which provides an incredible amount of textual DESC: information and graphics which are linked through the HyperText 19 NCSA Telnet 2.5.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 01-14-1994 DESC: NCSA Telnet 2.5 - NCSA Telnet was developed to provide interactive KEY: NCSA Telnet 2.5.sit KBytes: 504832 DESC: access from a Macintosh to telnet hosts on TCP/IP networks. It is an DESC: implementation of DARPA standard telnet. NCSA Telnet allows you to DESC: have simultaneous connections to numerous computers across the DESC: network, and includes a standard file transfer server (FTP) to allow DESC: you to transfer files to and from other remote machines and users. DESC: NCSA Telnet previously came in two versions - NCSA driver version, DESC: and MacTCP driver version. However, in this release of Telnet, the DESC: two versions have been merged into one application. This allows DESC: greater flexibility. There are some substantial changes with this 18 Net.Account.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 09-19-1992 DESC: Net.Account - Want to get on the internet for more than email and KEY: Net.Account.sit KBytes: 25600 DESC: explore its vast, mysterious depths? This set of files (broken DESC: down to be readable by the AOL text file reader) lists services DESC: which offer public accounts on the internet. You can read, compare DESC: prices and services and decide which one is best for you. Happy DESC: teleputing! DESC: 17 Net.providers.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 09-19-1992 DESC: Net.providers - The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) often receives KEY: Net.providers.sit KBytes: 4096 DESC: the initial calls from sites wishing to connect to the Internet. DESC: The NNSC refers such callers to the appropriate contacts for any DESC: networks which might be able to serve them. This file is the DESC: current (1/31/92) list of contacts used by NNSC for this purpose. DESC: If you want to put your computer on the internet, check here! DESC: 15 NewsWatch.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 10-09-1992 DESC: NewsWatch - The newsreader is pretty simple to use. When starting KEY: NewsWatch.sit KBytes: 173056 DESC: up, it will ask you for the name of your NNTP (news) server and DESC: SMTP (mail) server. Next, it will get a list of all groups from DESC: the server and put them in a window named "Newsgroups". This DESC: master group list is always resident (although it can be hidden). DESC: The reader allows browsing of the groups from this list, but does DESC: not keep track of read/unread articles and subscribed groups. 14 NotifyMail 2.0.1.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 02-28-1994 DESC: NotifyMail 2.0.1 - NotifyMail is a system extension that listens for KEY: NotifyMail 2.0.1.sit KBytes: 39936 DESC: a telnet connection to port 1035. When it receives the connection, DESC: it sends an AppleEvent to Eudora to check your mail. The end result DESC: (when coupled with a .forward file on your UNIX machine or DESC: compatible mechanism on a VMS machine or a Macintosh mail server) DESC: is that you will almost immediately receive your electronic mail DESC: when it arrives on your UNIX machine. You no longer have to tell DESC: Eudora to check your mail every X minutes. This also puts less DESC: stress on your mail server because you will generally be "checking" DESC: your mail less often. Minimal Requirements - System 7.0.0, MacTCP 13 Nuntius 1.1a2.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 06-09-1992 DESC: Nuntius 1.1a2 - A news reader that runs under System 7. Gives you a KEY: Nuntius 1.1a2.sit KBytes: 259072 DESC: window of New Groups that looks like the Finder under System Seven's DESC: 'view by name' (including the little triangles to show the DESC: hierarchy). Uses TeachText or another application of your choice DESC: as an editor for posts. Didn't come with any instructions but it's DESC: rather simple to use. DESC: 12 PersonalInternet.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 03-26-1993 DESC: PersonalInternet - Here is a collection of responses that I received KEY: PersonalInternet.sit KBytes: 27648 DESC: regarding my question about obtaining a personal internet DESC: connection. I've abandoned that particular quest until some rich DESC: relative dies or personal internet connections become more common. DESC: The following letters contain some information (mostly depressing) DESC: about getting an internet connection and also other info about DESC: various new online services (the next best thing). This collection DESC: is rather long (1400+ lines) and therefore belongs in the report DESC: directory. DESC: 11 RnMac 0.99.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 11-10-1993 DESC: RnMac 0.99 - rnMac is a UseNet newsreader/mailer for Macintosh KEY: RnMac 0.99.sit KBytes: 104448 DESC: computers. If you don't know what UseNet or UseNet news is, you DESC: probably don't have much need for this program. Conversely, if DESC: you're an old netlander, you'll know what "rn" is, and you'll also DESC: realize that this program is really not a part of "rn," and that I DESC: should probably call it something else. rnMac is intended for use on DESC: stand-alone Macs that get their newsfeed via something like UUPC DESC: and ToadNews. rnMac doesn't know anything about modems, uucp, DESC: unbatching, or expiring; all it knows how to do is to read articles DESC: from a folder on your hard drive. Includes complete documentation. 10 TGE TCP Tool 2.4.sit 0 B AMUG BBS in a Box 10-14-1992 DESC: TGE TCP Tool 2.4 - The TGE TCP Tool is a Connection Tool for the KEY: TGE TCP Tool 2.4.sit KBytes: 16384 DESC: Communications Toolbox. It provides TELNET and transparent TCP DESC: connections. It allows the specification of the host with which to DESC: connect as well as the port number on which to connect. It also DESC: supports the TELNET options for 'binary data' and 'terminal type'. DESC: TGE TCP Tool is not a SLIP or PPP tool. You can not use TGE to DESC: establish TCP over a modem connection.
