Possibly, of course it would need to be completely separate and autonomous -- in fact, every node probably would be. I may have a VAXStation 2000 which could do it. Would take some work on my part, but I'm not adverse to that. The only question would be one of telco charges... I'll have to see whether I can answer data calls with my cellular phone. If so, the machine could operate at night (and on weekends) that way ;) Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '

IBM 3390

by vcf＠vintage.org

The ACCRC has a couple IBM 3390 things. I take it these are disk drive arrays? I also take it these are fairly comntemporary and can probably be sold to someone? Does anyone know of anyone or any place that would want to buy these from them to raise a little cash for the ACCRC? -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org * Old computing resources for business and academia at www.VintageTech.com *

RIPscrip

by bpope＠wordstock.com

I found out what the vector graphics protocol is: ------------------------------------------------ RIPscrip graphics are EGA quality graphics that are displayed over the modem. The BBS sends special codes which are interpreted by a special term program and draws the screen for the user. The results can be impressive. While there are other graphic protocols, such as NAPLPS and ROBO/FX, which are better than RIP (supporting VGA and better resolutions), RIP is the only one which can be made with simple ASCII sequences. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It also looks like Telegraphix is the company who created this protocol. (Which I believe somebody said awhile ago._ Cheers, Bryan

In-house MP3 Server

Well, here's how I'd do it. :) (Sorry, I think I've delved into the hardware too much...) First, I'd stay away from windows at all costs. Personally, I'd use VMS, or that not being an option due to hardware concerns, I'd use some form of unix. I'll assume VMS is out of the question, so here's how I'd do it in that case: Find three machines. One only needs to be powerful enough to hold. the disks and serve them through NFS or something. It should also be a boot-server for the other two. The second should run samba (if you really must ignore my first point. :), or a web server, or something. (like an FTP server. IMO, that's the way to serve "dynamic clickable catalogs") Again, it could be a pretty light machine. It should netboot from the first machine, and be diskless. The third should be able to encode in reasonable time and equipped with a CD drive. :) It should also boot from the first machine, and be diskless. I would use this software: Probably NetBSD. Rebuild the kernel at least to only contain the things you need. Cut it down so that the main system runs one getty on the console, and nothing extra is running. The other systems would run only the applications they need. Since they should boot from the main system, forget about getty, even. Just run the proper daemons, and on the machine that encodes things, have it run a custom script, or other thing, that will automatically encode whatever you feed it, and stuff it into the proper directory. You could use Samba, FTP, or whatever you were using to transfer the music to your computer for file management, too. If it were my system, the machine that you were transferring from would also have a mechanism in place to play the files itself. Perhaps that could be done by CGI. That would require that it was a slightly larger system, though. The machine for encoding would run cdparanoia, something to access cddb, and l3enc or bladeenc.

I ran an RCP/M BBS, the "Mercerville RCP/M", in Mercerville NJ (near Trenton and Princeton) from about mid-1985 to 1988 or so. I enjoyed it very much. I sorta miss the "culture" of BBSs. -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk. More synthohol." --Lt. Worf

I set up a unix box (netbsd or linux - I have both) and have it run a web server. All my mp3's are playable >from any machine and any archetecture that way. Most f not all mp3 players have the ability to play files from the internet so I just point them to my intranet mp3 box and off they go! No hassles with multiplatform file services that way. Http is a pretty standard way of delivering MP3's. -Linc. In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded - Yeah right... Calculating in binary code is as easy as 01,10,11.
