Last Letter from Gol.Com
I'm out of gol.com, my Japanese account. 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.]

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

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 at 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).
Simply click on the information resource you wish to see:
