FireWire is Fast is working hard on the website, and I'll freely admit that his graphic and page design skills are better than mine.

If you read the Service Manuals thread, you'll see my posting about running a 68kMLA Gopher server.

Here's the deal:

Gopher works best when there are multiple systems, but they don;t ALL have to be online at the same time.

So, are you running a server off your modem? DSL? Cable?

I don't care if it's HTTP, FTP, Gopher, or only Telnet or SSH.

As long as it's a server, my Gopher system will keep log of it and let people thru when it's up, and also catalogue what you have available.

It'll be the 68kMLAN(etwork)

If you DON'T run a server, but you WANT to (and people here can help you set them up) you should get a dyndns.org account, and an appropriate client. I'll talk to a couple of the other people and get a "How to set up dyndns" page for the website.

So people... what do you think?

This is being served off a 56k modem line, via a G4 (as the Gateway to the 'Net), a II (or IIfx) as the actual Gopher server, and an SE w/ AppleShare 2.0.

I'm operating off my 56k Modem, as I said, but I TRY to keep that online all the time, as it has it's own phone line. But I also USE my computer, so if it crashes or anything else, well, you won;t be able to connect for a litle while.

The Gopher server will also act as an HTTP server, for the SOLE purpose of direct linking to other MLAN webpages/servers. It will have a single, text only page, with the links.

The Gopher system I want to get as robust as possible (I beleive the 'Net as an informational resource can still be used best via a text-only, menu interface).

It would be nice if anyone that wants to participate could get (as I mentioned before) a dyndns.org account/system, AND a Mac running some kind of FTP server.

Connection speeds don't matter a whole lot. Don't feel you can't be a part of this if you only use a 33.6 modem and are only connected a few hours a day! I've been archiveing text files and information, and YOU can host them. Gopher systems are meant to connect to multiple servers, and keep logs of redundant information. if 3 MLANers host the same file, odds are we can all access it at any time.

Be brave! come play!

I *MIGHT* be the proud new owner of a NeXT Slab. The earlier version, ala a 68030 chip.

I've been debating HOW to set up the Gopher system, and other 'Net server functions, and my choices up till now have been:

Run a 68k Mac with the Mac OS, and appropriate software
-OR-
Run a 68k Mac with a UNIX system.

NOW I may have the opportunity to use the NeXT station.

I'm useing a now out-of-print book from O'Reilly titled "Manageing Internet Information Systems" and it includes examples and such on HOW to implement everything on a NeXT system.

So, would it be saccreligious to provide the front door to the "68k Macintosh Liberation Army Network" on a NeXT computer?

SCORE! Now all I need to do is decide which computer to use... SE/30? II?

As for the 2 people with DSL and servers, do you have DynDNS.org accounts? And how to we get into your Hotline servers?
