Let the tour begin!

A Good Start point WWW
fantastic web site "chock full-o-nuts"
http://www.mecklerweb.com

Yes there are better sites but this one is hard to beat for a good general
starting point for ALL types of users. Check it out - you'll like it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting points for Gopher users

Gopher to: liberty.uc.wlu.edu
Washington and Lee University in Virginia, US
- a fantastic alternative to "boom-box". Includes a WAIS-indexed database
  and provides a list of new gophers updated daily.


Gopher to: boombox.micro.umn.edu
- the "mother" of all gophers still maintains an impressive site. This has
  become a true Internet standard in the world of gophering. A must see.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A brief primer for searching the Internet

How do you search for things on the Internet without aimlessly surfing?
Wandering the Internet highway is part of the fun - but sometimes you need
specific information and can't afford to cruise all day trying to find it.

Here are a few ways to accomplish a 'net search.

Using Archie to search for files.

A SLIP/PPP connected Mac user has GUI Archie client software that is easy
to use and so we'll address the Unix dial up account holders. At the Unix
prompt enter "archie -s <name of what you want searched>. This will search
for what you entered without regard for case (capitals or small letters).
You can also type archie prog to progress a search. Prompts for the search
will be put up onscreen. If Archie isn't on your local server then try
Tenetting to a public Archie site. Telnet to "archie.internic net" or try
Telnetting to "archie.ans.net". Log in as Archie and follow the onscreen
prompts for directions on using Archie.

Using Veronica to search the Internet for resources is a farly easy
process. Point your Gopher client to the University of Minnesota
(gopher2.tc.umn.edu) and select "Other Gopher and Information Servers" and
then select "Search titles in gopherspace using Veronica". There are many
other Veronica servers out there. Try browsing any gopher until you see
an online menu that has the "Search titles... using veronica" in it.

Using Gopher to browse through "subject trees" can be just what you need
to do sometimes. Gopher to "gopher.sunet.se" and select "Subject Trees"
to find a long list of Internet Sites on every subject you could possibly
imagine. Choose one that seems right and go from there.

Using Hytelnet to help you search is another good idea yet it is not used
by many Internet travellers. Hytelnet lets you surf through computers
that are accessible via Telnet. Start your search by entering "hytelnet"
at the Unix prompt. If you have no success then Telnet to "access.usask.ca"
and log-in as "hytelnet"

Users who have access to the Web (use Lynx if connected via dial-up shell)
can use many web search engines. These search engines are found further in
this document. Happy search surfing! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo server
Home page URL:
http://akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/
http://akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/Entertainment/Hard_to_Believe/

Holy Cow! You'll be surfing for years from this one site alone! Very cool!
Another GREAT place to start your net surfing adventure(s) !!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yanoff Internet list
gopher to:
gopher.uwm.edu
then select /Remote Information Servers/Special Internet Connections

Yanoff Internet List WWW URLs:
Yanoff special internet connections
http://www.uwm.edu/Mirror/inet.services.html
http://info.cern.ch/hyper-text/DataSources/Yanoff.html

These are the "premier" lists for internet travel. Always has the new
mixed in with the old. Great if you need Mac places to visit or just want
to find out what's new on the net. Get this once a month. The TV guide of
the Internet!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gopher Jewels
gopher to:
cwis.usc.edu
then select /Other Gophers and Information Resources/Gopher-Jewels

as it says... neat places to gopher - constantly updated and changing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Mac Primo site *
this Web site contains pointers to all sorts of Macintosh related items.
http://rever.nmsu.edu/~elharo/faq/Macintosh.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turbo-Gopher and other Mac internet utilities
ftp://boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher 
also look in  --> boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/helper-applications

The "mother" of all gophers from the Univ of Minnesota.There is a whole
host of important internet tools, like POP Mail, Sparkle and Telnet
applications plus lots more. A must visit for any Mac user.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The basic software necessary for a Mac to "talk" TCP/IP, Apple's MacTCP
control panel, is included with version 7.5 of MacOS. It's also bundled
with various commercial software packages and included on the disks that
come with some Mac Internet guide books (such as Adam Engst's excellent
"The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh", and Adam Engst's intermediate
level book, "The Internet Explorer for Macintosh", published by Hayden
Books - ISBN# 1-56830-064-6). 

There are free implementations of PPP (Merit's MacPPP) and SLIP
(Intercon's InterSLIP) available on the net via FTP:

ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/mac-ppp-201.hqx

ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/inter-slip-installer-101.hqx

ftp to: ftp.intercon.com  /InterCon/sales/Mac/Demo_Software

For PPP
ftp to: merit.edu  /pub/ppp/mac

Basically, a Mac needs MacTCP, a control panel developed to allow
Macintoshes access to TCP/IP networks.  SLIP or PPP implementations work
with MacTCP pretty much transparently, usually as another control panel.
Typical senario: Configure your SLIP/PPP connection with your connection
number/modem type/passwords, make sure MacTCP is in there (2.0.6 is
recommended), and then connect to the server! That's all there is to it;
the config and connect procedure is a little different with teach
SLIP/PPP program. 

MacTCP isn't free, but it's bundled with System 7.5 or available as
an independent product from an Apple dealer.  The upgrade patch to 2.0.6
(you'll probably get 2.0.4 with System 7.5 or a dealer) is available on
all major online services, and on www.info.apple.com. It's important to
note that you can only upgrade VIRGIN copies of MacTCP to 2.0.6 (one
that hasn't been used at all), but don't worry: detailed instructions
come with the patch. And in case you can't get it immediately, don't fret
version 2.0.6 offers no new features, but instead is a little more robust
in its resolving capability, and handles some low memory situations better.

MacTCP Watcher
Anarchie
FTP to: nic.switch.ch  /mac/software/peterlewis/amug.org/pub/peterlewis/
FTP to: redback.cs.uwa.edu.au  /others/peterlewis/

A must have for MacTCP folks or SLIP/PPP connections. A software utility
that monitors how MacTCP is working, passing packets, test your domain name
server, ping other machines on the 'net and more. Get it.

Anarchie is also by Peter Lewis and is (perhaps) the BEST hybrid tool out
there. It combines both the functions of ftp and archie search tools.
Simply type the name of the program you want and Anarchie automatically
logs in to an Archie server, finds the software and then downloads it for
you! This is a MUST HAVE for any SLIP/PPP connected user. Incredible!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maven
FTP to: k12.cnidr.org  /pub/Mac

Maven is an audio-conferencing tool (that's right - send your voice over
the Internet to others). Even though it's a bandwidth hog you just may be
able to pass through the packets with a 14.4 (maybe) and can start actually
being useful at 28.8K speeds or higher. A neat tool that may work for you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

MacWeather
FTP to: mac.archive.umich.edu

Cool GUI tool (for SLIP/PPP) that lets you link to weather information from
cities all throughout the US and Canada. Also can link to off-shore Marine
forecast centers. Has a graphic barometer and themometer, wind direction
gauge and wind speed gauge. There's even a Weather mini-window that shows
cloudy, rainy, clear, etc. This is a very cool way to get weather reports!
A simple, easy to use yet powerful weather report utility. You'll love it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BlueSkies gopher
FTP to:  madlab.sprl.umich.edu  in the --> /pub/Blue-Skies
look for the file "Blue-Skies_<version number>.sea.hqx"

One of the coolest gopher clients around. A GUI weatherman and a whole lot
more. Complete weather info available plus gopher links to other great
gophers. It's supposed to be "educational" (boring) but it's far from boring.
In fact, if you don't have this gopher client - you're not getting the most
out of your SLIP/PPP connection. GET THIS NOW!  For Macs only!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eudora (SLIP/PPP emailer)
FTP to: ftp.qualcomm.com

The BEST and easiest to use mail program for SLIP/PPP Mac users. There is
no better. Has plenty of functionality yet remains absurdly easy to use.
If you are running a SLIP/PPP connection then GET THIS. Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CU-SeeMe (for Macintosh)
http://magneto.csc.ncsu.edu/Multimedia/CU-SeeMe/cuseeme.html

Audio/video conferencing via Macs connected to Internet by SLIP/PPP, T1
56Kbs, or direct connection. It works over low-bandwidth lines and is
becoming the choice for schools and education to run video-conferencing
sessions. Now THIS is what the Internet communications is all about folks! 
If your institution has Macs on the Internet - don't delay - get this!
It's the best way to video-conference without added expense and high cost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lentz's Macintosh Internet Resources
http://www.astro.nwu.edu/lentz/mac/home-mac.html

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Art Liaison Virtual Gallery
Gopher to: artspeak.dorsal.org

This site is just getting started so be patient - it's a project that's
still under progress. It is a visually rich site but unfortunately the
gopher site has you download images before viewing. A web site is planned
but it would be nice to also maintain the gopher site as well. Many folks
do not have access to the WWW so a gopher site alernative is always nice.
Besides being graphically rich, there are art auction announcements, theme
topics and classified ads section. There is also a forum where you can
fell free to express your ideas on art related subjects. Everyone hopes
that this site will be as good as the promise it shows now. Check it out
and then come back and visit later - watch a fine project in developement.

Places for Kids (of all ages)

Online Book Initiative Gopher
- WWW site -
gopher://ftp.std.com:70/11/obi/book/FairyTales

or gopher to: ftp.std.com
select "Online Book Initiative"

There's close to 100 favorite fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and these
Grimm fairy tales are among the very best. Everything from Snow White to
Little Red Riding Hood resides here. Text only - but who needs pictures
when you have imagination and great stories to read. Enjoy!
----------

Kid's Internet Delight
http://www.clark.net/pub/journalism/kid.html

A fantastically cool place for kids AND adults. There is a lot of fun to
be had here and, my goodness, you really can have fun and explore and
learn at the same time! Visit the Electronics Lab of the Future and all
its gadgetry. Take a trip to the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History
where the DNA to Dinosaurs exhibit is located (and lots more!) Then travel
on to the Games Domain and hold on to your seat. Some of the hippest and
coolest places to link to are here. I'm telling you - no matter what age
you are - you'll have a blast (and actually learn something) from this
fantastic web page. You could visit here daily and not get bored. Plenty
of things to see and do make this another must see in your travels.
----------

MIDLINK Magazine
http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink

This electronic magazine is designed by kids for kids. That's right - kids
design and make up this magazine (well... they get a little help) and it
changes every two months with each new issue. It is designed to both
educate and entertain and each new issue contains a central topic or theme.
Past issues are also online so you can see any you missed. Virtual trips
and exhibits abound taking youngsters on a tour around the world to see
many different sights and places and as they tour they learn lots about
these places. Tons of pictures and easy to read information plus neat and
interesting links make this a place that kids come back to time after time.
There are also riddles and cool problems to solve on puzzle pages scattered
about the 'zine and I doubt there is a better web page made chiefly by
kids on the Internet. Good educational material is not always easy to find
on that vast highway known as the Internet - so make sure your kids wind
up steering here. A great place for teachers and adults as well. Makes a
great educational resource for schools connected to the WWW.
----------

Street Cents Online
http://www.screen.com/streetcents.html

A cool way for kids to learn about money. No, not like a boring "making
change from a dollar" lesson but like an entertaining show designed to
educate while kids have fun learning. In fact, it was inspired by a
Canadian TV show that taught kids in a fun way all about money. Street
Cents is more like a Consumer's Reports, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek
and Time Magazine all-in-one for kids. Food taste tests done by kids
and food costs plus comments about new soft drinks can be some of the
things that are going on here. Plus other topics like TV ad exaggerations,
annoying commercials, music (what's hot/what's not), stocks and bonds (of
course PepsiCo, Apple and Hershey Foods (chocolate), are a few of the
favorites to track. Other neat things like info on part-time jobs (not
a classified section but a way for kids to learn what to expect out there
in the working world) and online clubs really keeps kids interested
and since it changes every week - it never gets stale. Don't be surprised
when your kids take control of your web browser and surf to this site
constantly to see "what's up"!
----------

Kids Web
http://www.npac.syr.edu

This is a World Web Web electronic library for kids. Almost every resource
a student needs is here (and I know a few adults that come here too).
Resources like the Periodic Table of Elements, a dictionary, a thesaurus
and lots more. There are many links to other informative resources and
this site contains many links to other informative sites too. History
resources, Literature resources and Science resources abound. There are
many interactive and multimedia pages and I doubt there is a better one
stop place to visit when you want to find out about a subject or need to
do research for a report. Another four-star rated web site for kids.
----------

Theodore Tugboat Online Activity Center
http://www.cochran.com/TT.html

Here's a site devoted to teaching kids about friendship, trust and the
importance of helping others, within an interactive short story entitled
"Thedore's Surprise Friend". This story was created especially for the
Internet and it is very engrossing for younger kids. Theodore the Tug
has to decide whether to greet a large and arrogant ship coming into
Big Harbour or to hang out with his buddy Barrington Barge. Youngsters
get to interactively help Theodore make decisions and the child's
decisions propel the story in any number of directions. The story unfolds
much like a large picture book and each page has a color illustration. The
many plot possibilities will keep kids interested and they can change
their decisions to see how the story will change. The pictures can be
downloaded easily so kids can collect a downloaded coloring book on
which they can color in the pages as they recant the adventure(s) of
Theodore the Tug. This is yet another four-star rated web page for kids.
It just doesn't get much better than this.
----------

Global Show-N-Tell exhibition
http://emma.manymedia.com/show-n-tell

A sharing place on the web for kids of all ages to show off their projects
and where they live to others on the net. There are students and schools
from Fairbanks, Alaska, and many northern California and north-western US
schools are represented here. There are also some pages that have email
addresses on them for kids to write and make "penpals". Personally I don't
like the idea of publicly showing a child's email address - but maybe that
is just me. Otherwise this is a good place for kids to visit but as it is
an ongoing project, I hope that other schools across the US would be on
here as well. Not a four-star page but a good start for a early project.
----------

PRESS RETURN web page
http://scholastic.com:2005/public/pressreturn/press-return.html

This is an electronic multimedia magazine that deals with various teen
experiences. This page is created by and foe middle school and high school
students. Each issue has a central "theme" and showcases many ideas and
various talents that the student writers have to express. Professional
editors and writers work hand-in-hand with the student contributors and
the web page is very well done. It is a work in progress (aren't they all?)
and so far seems to be both interesting, educational and fun! The pages
are well conceived and don't take long to download even on a 14.4K modem
connection. Highly recommended for students ages 10 - 18. (grades 6 - 12)

MUDs and MOOs (Multi-User Domains and MUD Oriented Objects)

Kinda like IRC on steroids. MUDs are often used as front ends for on-line
games but can also serve as a meeting place on a network or the Internet
where people can collaberate on projects or use as a discussion "forum".
Many MUD environments require a Telnet session to log-in and access.

MOOs integrate MUDs with the Web and thus let users interact using
commonly found Web browsers such as Netscape, Mosaic and MacWeb.

Not for the faint of heart but interest usually leads to knowledge...
(or is that vice versa... ?)
-----

There is more imaginative play here than most other MUDs. A truly refined
MUD, Genesis reeks of dank chambers and dark castles waiting to be explored

Choose Your Own Adventure Story (Internet Multimedia Research Foundation)
http://physics.purdue.edu/~sho/choose.html

An adventure in progress and YOU get to "fill in the blanks" on web form
pages. Careful or you'll get lost easily. You have decisions to make as
well. Like whether your broken toe emits violent gamma radiation or folds
the space-time continuum. Wierd huh? Let me tell you that the IMRF's
mission statement is to..."use existing multimedia technology in new,
surprising and stupid ways." They truly succede in their mission here.
-----

Waxweb
http://bug.village.virginia.edu/

different voltages and electrical needs for the tourist and many times says
the best thing is to just bring battery operated items with you and a small
supply of batteries to get out of worrying about whether that razor or
whatever else you have will work or not. Travel safety tips and advisories

EnviroWeb
http://www.envirolink.org

This is an "outgrowth" of the EnviroLink Network and has to be one of the
best thought out and laid out web sites around. It contains beautifully
done pages that don't take years to download the images. It is a breezy
ride through page after page and the links flow so easily and quickly that
surfing this web site is not a chore or a task - it is highly enjoyable.
There is so much to learn and enjoy here that I doubt you will be able
to put your browser down. I mean it. Collaberative ventures between public
schools are here courtesy of the Environmental Education Network along with
many other on-going projects. A linked list of K-12 education sites is also
here. A wealth of information comes from many sources including the Enviro
Products Directory and of course links back to the "parent" network - the
EnviroLink Network. HAS TO BE SEEN! TEACHER ALERT! YOU MUST CHECK THIS OUT!

GreenPeace World Wide Web Home Page
http://www.cyberstore.ca/greenpeace/index.html

Everyone who comes to visit this site says the same thing - so where is
the information? It seems this site has not been updated on some time and
was a let-down. I expected more than this. A few paltry photos (ok a lot
of old GreenPeace demonstration photos from the early 90s') and a few
scant pieces of info relating to the GreenPeace mission. Stay away until
this site is either updated or completely redone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.icg.apc.org/igc/en.html

and environmental resources. Links to the National Wetlands Inventory, The
League of Conservation Voters National Environmental Scorecard, (which is a
watch dog agency that keeps tabs on Congressional voting on environmental
issues), the Electric Green Journal at the Univ of Idaho, and many more.
This is a very good site for educational institutions to use as it is both
informative and interesting. Even non-environmentalists will like it.

Grazing on public lands (still a hot topic), and Yosemite Nat'l Park. It
also includes references to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and contains
many other links to environmental info and reading. There is a Wetlands

clear and concise layout make it an undaunting archive to find the info you

Gopher to:  geograf1.sbs.ohio-state.edu

Tornado tracking info, severe weather warnings, natural disaster info and
reports from the National Severe Storms Forecast Center should keep you up

less will easily understand bold caps that say   "WRNING - SVR TSTMS!"
I don't think meteorologists like vowels. Can I buy an A... an E ?

go to glossary words with meanings, an FAQ link and a complete and helpul
bibliography of books and articles to let you learn even more. A really
cool image gallery of weather maps makes the trip worthwhile.

The Internet Public Library
http://ipl.sils.umich.edu/ 

Internet Public Library advances new initiative through innovative
delivery of online youth services.

The formal opening of the youth services division of the Internet Public
Library (IPL), a prototype library of the future, at the School of
Information and Library Studies of the University of Michigan was
recently announced. Central to accomplishing the library's stated
mission of providing "services and information which enhance the value
of the Internet to its ever expanding and varied community of users,"
the IPL youth services division will help point the way to the library
of tomorrow, harnessing rapidly changing technology to reinvent library
service delivery for a 21st century audience. 

The IPL youth services division has already made impressive strides
toward realizing its ambitious goals with projects and activities that
include a writing contest (for children only); an opportunity to
communicate with noted children's book authors; an interactive story
hour; and opportunities to discover and contribute to a budding list of
science projects and experiments. In what must surely be one of the
IPL's most innovative ventures, children and contribute to a budding
list of science projects and experiments. In what must surely be one of
the IPL's most innovative ventures, children and adults alike will be
able to submit questions online to such world famous writers as Lois
Lowry and Robert Cormier...imagine what it might have been like if our
generation had the chance to talk to Dr. Seuss! Best of all, the IPL
youth division has been able to develop their online service while
maintaining all the excitement and energy young people have come to
expect of a visit to the best local libraries. Talking mascots, living
folk tales, and endless opportunities for the creative spirit...all
these await you at the IPL youth division.

Ready for patrons on March 17, 1995, the Internet Public Library is
prepared to provide essential library services to a target audience
estimated to number 1/4 of the entire American population by the end of
the century. Chaired by an assemblage of internationally renowned
librarians and leading information industry professionals, the Internet
Public Library will offer an exciting vision of the library of tomorrow
as envisioned by many of the brightest talents in the field today.
Bringing the best features of the community library forward into a new
technological environment, IPL seeks to challenge our thinking about new
"communities" that will arise in the future and a broader range of
services the library of tomorrow might provide. 


OK - so this explanation might seem a bit lengthy but this is a BRAND NEW
venture and a full explanation was necessary. An incredible resource that
'netters all over the world will find useful, educational and informative!

-----

Kirk McKusick's Wine cellar
telnet to: chez.cs.berkeley.edu 451

Another absurd and useless connection to show the current temperature of
Kirk's wine cellar and suggestions for the "wine of the day".
-----

A Thermometer in Maine

You can check the temperature of an office somewhere in Maine. A person

Vending Machines at various Colleges and Universities

finger pony@sail.stanford.edu
finger coke@cs.cmu.edu
finger coke@mackerel.gu.uwa.edu.au
finger cocacola@columbia.edu

Don't bother leaving your dorm on a useless journey to the soda machine.
Waste bandwidth and have fun fingering these machines to see if your
favorite is in stock. Many also tell when the sodas were put in the
machine so you can tell if they're cold enough and some have a themometer
that says how cold the sodas are. Ah... the meager college existence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul's Hot Tub

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golf Archives web page

the most complete Golf site available. Between this page and Pete's page
there isn't any divot unturned when it comes to golf info. Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

WWW Sports Server

I'm sure this site is mentioned elsewhere in the BIGSurf list but it's sooo

FTP to: ames.arc.nasa.gov  in the --> /pub/SCUBA

A lot of info - in fact a TON of info but none of it seems to be well
organized. Many texts merely have the SCUBA or dive site listed and nothing
more. Experienced divers will probably dive right in but the beginner may
have a hard time of it. Plenty of reading here and if you're willing to
wade through the documents - there's a lot of good info available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

America's Cup Online
http://www.ac95.org:80/index.html

All sorts of America's Cup info but it remains to be seen whether this page
is a fairly paermanent resource or if it will be gone by the end of this
season. Check in the future at the same address only change the "95" to the
current year (example: www.ac96.....). Also contains the history, stats and
other relevant info to the Cup. Includes info on the Louis Vuitton Cup and
a host of other sailing race info. Did you know that a budget for one team
to race in the America's Cup is $15 million minimum and that a racing yacht
can be typically $3 million and up ?  Whew... that's a lot of canvas!

send email to: owl@sage.cc.purdue.edu
Subject Line: owl-request
Message body: Type in your question or request as you normally would write
email. Be as specific as possible. Your reply will arrive within 2-4 days.

This is a public service of Purdue University and it is designed to help
students and undergraduates writing research and/or report papers. This
service also provides tips and help on how to write effective resumes and
business memos. The OWL team is most helpful and informative. They also
have info on many "official" formats that papers can be required to be
written in and understand the needs of college students. Proper paper
formatting, footnotes, headers and bibliographies are essential when it
comes to writing papers. Let OWL help you out. Don't expect them to
actually _write_ the paper for you though. That's another lesson...

the film, 2,000 stills (that went to make up the film), 600 MPEG video
clips, and the entire audio track of the film in English, French, German and
Japanese! You can see any part of the film, in any order you choose and
while viewing, you can "jump out" of the film to read hyper-text comments
related to the making of the film or related to the script AND you can add

http://www.ic.mankato.mn.us/antiques/Antiques.html

Not a great site - but a good site. This is a new page and a work that is
still very much in the process of expanding. There is info on a wide
variety of antique topics but not each topic has in-depth info. There is
also a few graphics but many are very low resolution and muddy. I hope
the authors of this site can improve it for there is a need for a web page
devoted to antique pleasures and antique info for collectors. For now, a
better place to learn and inquire about antiques is the Usenet newsgroup:
rec.antiques  Here you will find better and more relevant information.

You will be asked four questions and then be told where to get the latest

Archie search is the recommended way to find PGP. Do an Archie search for
pgp262 ("archie -s pgp262") Or try an Archie search for pgp2.3 or 2.3a. If
that still doesn't retrieve anything as a last resort try a search on "pgp"

ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/SECURITY/
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/satan/
ftp://ftp/lerc.nasa.gov/security/

Written by Don Farmer formerly of Silicon Graphics Inc., and CERT.
SATAN (a freeware Unix based utility) scans networks looking for
vulnerabilities and misconfigured ftp setups, mail gateways and servers.
A "must have" for all who administer networks of any kind. Especially
networks hooked into the Internet. SATAN can uncover and detect security
flaws on WWW servers, anon FTP servers and POP mail sites. Hosts with
security holes were flagged and then a linked list of on-line docs
was provided by SATAN with recommendations and solutions for fixes.
SATAN uses a WWW browser for it's interface and requires Perl Version 5.

Business Sources on the Net Gopher
Gopher to: ref-mac.kent.edu
select "Business Sources On The Net" from the menu list.
(note: alternative BSN site - ftp to: zeus.kent.edu)

Be certain that you carefully read the document titled "An Introduction to
BSN" before going further through the BSN gopher site. The ftp site only
archives the documents and is not as concise or informative as to how best
to use the archives/resources. Before you use the ftp site - get a "handle"
on how BSN works by using the gopher. Actually, the gopher address is
highly recommended over the ftp archive site. There are over 200 other
business related gopher links in the BSN gopher and the business related
gopher list goes on for more than 72 pages! Included topics at BSN are
Small Business, Management, Managing non-profit and charitable orgs,
Accounting and accounting procedures and practices, Taxation laws and how
these rulings affect business issues. Other topics include how businesses
can effectively deal with "public policies", societal trends and environment
or "green" issues. This BSN gopher is HIGHLY recommended destination for
any business Internet traveller. No lay-overs in Dallas-Ft. Worth !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet Advertising FAQ
Gopher to: gopher.fonorola.net
Select "Internet Business Journal" (good reading also) and then select
"Internet Advertising FAQ"

This resource is there to provide business users for effective strategies
for advertising on the 'Net (netvertising). The empahasis here is that
unlike most mass-media advertising that relies more on image and flash
than substance, netvertising is a whole new market that needs to be "info-
tained". This means that effective netvertising must be intelligent and
provide useful information. There is much for business to learn here as
the Internet is NOT a friendly place for commercial interests that wander
into the wrong place or try to pitch their sales the wrong way by
thoughtless SPAM techniques or ill-designed high bandwidth web pages. This
is a must visit for anyone seriously considering doing business on the net.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyberpreneur's Guide to the Internet
Gopher to: una.hh.lib.umich.edu
select "inetdirstacks" then select "cyberpreneurship"

WWW page: http://asa.ugl.lib.umich.edu/chdocs/cyberpreneur/Cyber.html

This is an excellent gopher resource for the individual or company either
starting a plan for doing business on the Internet or that already have
commercial ventures or are presently doing business on the Internet. This
gopher resource provides a huge compendium of Internet business related
information. E-Mail lists, other gophers, Web pages, newsgroups and a host
of other pointers for the online entrepreneur. The site is well organized
and broken down into areas or topics. The WWW address version of CGI is
a graphical version of the gopher with many links to other resources.
Either going through the CGI gopher or surfing to the CGI web page will
take the budding or flowering entrepreneur on an informative ride through
a plethora of vital information. Highly recommended site for business.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small Business Help Center
http://www.kclink.com/sbhc/

An often over-looked WWW site that has pointers and info for operators of
small businesses or that plan to start a small business. Worth a look-see.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small Business Administration Home Page
http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov

Offers information on the SBA's mission and overview of the SBA. Information
links and addresses and phone numbers of local SBAs is included on this web
page. SBA events and seminars are also offered. The SBA can help you finance
and start a small business and you'll want to check out all your options -
right? So make plans to visit this page - it's graphical interface helps to
make the information interesting and well... fun. In fact if you plan to
do business on the Internet, take note of how this well written home page
is done. This is another HIGHLY recommended info-stop for the business
traveller. Many interesting features of the home page should be noted by
the user. Point and click maps, etc, show that the SBA knows its net stuff!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mother Lode of Advertising, Promotion, Sales, Planning, Analyis &
Marketing Materials, Usefull and useless information, Reports, White Papers
and other Assorted Stuff - Home Page
--> access via WWW to: ftp://ftp.crl.com/users/ro/csharrow/homepage.html

Not only is the title of this page a "mother-lode" the information that is
within this web page is staggering. It is almost too much information and
some of it is widely spread over many links. If you want clear and concise
information - don't surf here. But if you want to explore and link to many
alternative sources of information then this is the place to be. There are
so many topics and resources to explore that you should plan to spend a
while at this site. Often informative and interesting this site offers a
lot for the business user as well as the casual 'net surfer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Dreams newsletter
http://www.wimsey.com/~duncans

Duncan's enthusiasm and off-beat style is infectious. Sometimes informative
and often funny he gives a humorous approach to offering valuable info.
Tongue in cheek articles along with analogous snippets will keep you reading
'till the wee hours of dawn. Take what he says with a grain of salt but for
the cost of a newsletter subscription (free) why not give it a try?  You
might like it. Not for everyone - but then - what is?  If you can read
between the lines - there is a lot of sound advice in his humor.

This "BIGSurf List" of Internet Travel Destinations was collected, written
arranged and maintained by Blue Savannah! and Pinochle: co-founders and the
"keepers" of the Usenet Newsgroup --->  alt.sys.mac.newuser-help

BIGSurf Net-List vol #1  April 1995

This list although general in nature contains many specific places
for Macintosh users to go to get information and related software for
their computing interests. We hope that all Internet travellers enjoy
this list and enjoy their travels. Surf's Up !

This list is not meant to be a complete listing of Internet sites nor is
it meant to be an exhaustive compilation of everywhere there is to go on
the Internet or a complete directory of Internet sites. It is merely designed
to provide YOU, the Internet traveller, interesting places to surf and visit.

We truly hope that you find this "BIG-SURF List" enjoyable and informative.
Suggestions are welcome and can be sent via email to the authors.
(Pinochle is especially interested in any new sites and/or suggestions to
improve this list).

If you have a particular Web, gopher,ftp or any Internet site that YOU feel
is a great place to visit or has unique items or Mac specific information
then send to us via email - or better yet - Visit our newsgroup and
post a message pertaining to a cool and breezy site. We love information
accessed through tasty packet waves.

Future editions may contain more Mac specific sites relating both to
Information and software (i.e Adobe home page, MacHTTP home page and
other software vendor and publisher or software support home pages.)
Also planned is a more organized approach to presenting this list -
either through alphabetical structure or a listing by topic. In any
case - we stil hope that this list in its present format is both
enjoyable and informative.

Don't forget - even users with Unix dial-up connections (non SLIP/PPP)
can access and enjoy many of the World Wide Web pages listed here with
Lynx (available on most Unix platforms). You may not get the whiz-bang
graphics but the essential information will be there and you'll still
be able to "link" to other sites via hot-spots on Web pages.

ALT.SYS.MAC.NEWUSER-HELP
