I closed it down a week early. Although they have touted themselves as far ahead of panix in my corres- pondence with them, they have repeatedly damaged their own shell accounts. They switched machines without telling anyone at times - rendering void email lists which rely on correct addressing. They got rid of emacs quite a while ago, allow no traceroute, ping, netstat, or any sort of perl and other programming - as far as I could tell, only simple shell programs would run. They change things without advance notice - including time- consuming machine repairs that they knew of in advance. I'd dial in and find the account inaccessible. At one point, they removed Pine - I had to switch to elm; they removed elm - I had to switch to mail. All this with- out notice. Of course they removed /usr/games etc. Finally, they kept reconfiguring Pine, the mailer - at this point, I couldn't even change my name. They set more and more of the so-called user options. And again, all of this without advance warning. [And Pine is now misconfigured, with an error message concerning file permissions appearing every time someone logs in.] Friday, 13 October 1995 UNDER DESTRUCTION The resources formerly found here can now be accessed on our Web site: http://www.tor.com Additional resources on the Web page include submission guidelines, the beginnings of the Tor FAQ, and links to other SF and fantasy-related material on the Internet. We're sorry, but the requested page /home/mcbryan/WWWW.html can't be found on the Computer Science Department website. Perhaps there are spelling errors or typos in the address or the page has been removed or moved to a new location. As of Monday, January 24, 2005, panix.net is not supported.

Internet Resources Meta-Index This document is intended to be a loosely categorized meta-index of the various resource directories and indices available on the Internet. Please send suggestions for new entries on this list (any index or directory of resources) to mosaic@ncsa.uiuc.edu. Internet Resources Metamap This is an experimental graphical metamap of some Internet information resource indices and listings. To use this metamap properly, you need a World Wide Web browser with the following capabilities: * Inlined image display with image mapping support. * Full HTTP/1.0 response code handling (without this, jumping from the metamap to the remote resource will not be transparent -- there will be an intermediate hyperlink). Mosaic for X 2.0 is known to work nicely. Mosaic for Mac 1.0 does not seem to work properly; version 1.01 should (but I haven't actually tested it yet).
