Very wise.
Mr 'Spooky Mart' seems to also post as Brankomir? something;
he/it/she clearly knows of computing of yesteryear, but seems a bit
feisty, and is pretending? not to know of Usenet conventions.

My previous ISP provided a feed as well as remote login to their servers,
so I would read Usenet on their system because that was faster than reading
over dial-up or DSL. One day news stopped working, so I waited a few days and
called them. The tech put me on hold for a bit, then came back and said
"We stopped the news feed, as there was only one user; you." I was supposed
to get a warning email but didn't. Any way, I switched to Eternal September.

No, Xecunet. They were great, still in business but don't do home users anymore.
I used them for dial-up starting in the mid-90s, then DSL later on. When the
DSL switch happened, I didn't want to wait for the DSL box in the mail, so I
called and asked whether I could pick it up from their office. The reply was
"Sure, if it's after 5:00 PM just come around back and knock on the door."

Every call to them was handled by a tech who knew what they were doing. A bit
refreshing to talk to someone who understood traceroute, unlike the most of the
support staff at the DSL circuit provider.

I was amazed when I moved from a BBS to usenet, at how `wild' the
discussion was people would attack you for nno reason, just for fun.
With the BBS system. if you get such a messae, you could call round to
the poster to discuss the matter.

With the bbs systems, it cost little to set up a host, but expensive to
call them.

There's still a few lonely loons; see e.g. alt.usenet.kooks, but I
really wouldn't recommend it.

In the 80s i was on BITNET and had access to usenet, but i cannot find
any posts anymore. My address used to be sidd@ohstpy and i was mostly
active on the physics groups. Toward the end of the 80s i switched to
a more contemporary email address, something like sidd@.xxx.xxx.edu

i ask for their business service. more expensive, but comes with an SLA
and much easier static ip allocation (5US$ bucks a month for each from
verizon fiber east coast) Seen the same in the midwest, if you want a
static IP talk to their bizness end.

I was on Bitnet in the late 1980s. Mostly on an Amiga listserv email

The best thing about Bitnet was that each host was an actively managed
system. If you started to get insults, threats, etc. from someone you could
contact POSTMAST AT <host>. In really bad cases they could revoke the
user’s access to Bitnet.

co-worker at (IBM) cambridge science center was responsible for the
internal network (larger than arpanet/internet from just about the
beginning until sometime mid/late 80s)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edson_Hendricks
.... technology was also used for the corporate sponsored university
BITNET (which was also larger than arpanet/internet for a time).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITNET

I was blamed for online computer conferencing on the internal network in
the late 70s and early 80s (folklore is that when corporate executive
committee was told about it, 5of6 wanted to fire me). Afterwards, there
was officially sanctioned computer conferencing software and discussion
groups (with moderators).

I have old (1984) email from person in Paris tasked with setting up
BITNET in Europe (EARN):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Academic_Research_Net work#EARN
looking for networking applications. Early history (1985) of LISTSERV
(had subset of functions available in internal computer conferencing
software)
http://www.lsoft.com/products/listserv-history.asp

trivia: TYMSHARE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymshare
had started offering its (VM370/)CMS-based online computer conferencing
free to the (mainframe user group) SHARE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARE_(computing)
in AUG1976, archives here:
http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare

I had a deal with TYMSHARE to get monthly tape dump of all VMSHARE files
for putting up on internal systems and network ... which sort of what
sucked me into also doing computer conferencing on the internal
corporate network.

we both transfer to silicon valley in 1977, SJMerc article about Edson
and "IBM'S MISSED OPPORTUNITY WITH THE INTERNET" (gone behind paywall
but lives free at wayback machine)
http://web.archive.org/web/20000124004147/http://www1.sjmerc ury.com/svtech/columns/gillmor/docs/dg092499.htm
Above article references Ed's website, other articles from Ed ... from
the wayback machine.

Yea, but they were stereotypically bad. Every call started with "reboot your
modem" no matter what I said. For months I had a problem where every week day,
starting around 3:30PM, througput would drop about 90%. I suspected it was
due to school being let out and people arriving home and jumping online.

A traceroute showed response times from a gateway four hops away in the seconds.
After "rebooting" the modem, the next question was always "What version of
Windows are you running?" Trying to explain that the DSL gateway was connected
to a switch with many systems on it (none running Windows) didn't get me
anywhere. Trying to explain that I could see the long delays at a downstream
router didn't help either. Several times they insisted on sending a tech to the
house to check things, with the threat that if anything was bad inside the
house I would be charged. Of course nothing ever was wrong; strong signal and
all that.

When I finally was able to switch and dump DSL, the tech who came out to do the
disconnect told me that they won't turn it back on; no new DSL accounts. That
indicated to me that they would never fix the problems I had.

We had usenet and ftp at Crosfield in 1989. No browsers, text
only, then Cix from early nineties until NTL put lines around
Oxford and dialup at 1p minute. Such luxury at the time, continually
upgrading the modem firmware as speed went up. Finally, cable from
NTL, shaky to start with, but good speeds...

The oldest message of mine I can find in the Google Groups archive is from October 1985,
considerably before the Great Renaming.

I'm not sure what's more impressive. You posting since '85 or the fact
you have kept track of your id's and able to find older messages.

I first posted in '94, first year of Uni, but long since forgotten that
id. Then I stopped using Usenet for a LONG time and just recently
started again with this one.

Kudos to you :)

On this newsgroup, I'm not quite sure. On Usenet, about 1981/82. That was
as rde@ukc.ac.uk

I first posted via a Usenet gateway on a BBS. Then I posted via a
Freenet. Then I got an ISP. I even met Lesher a couple of times. I feel
old.

I was on when I was a grad student at U Washington, 1979-1984. Email
addresses were bang-paths.

Sendmail configuration is rightly regarded as fearsomely complex,
but I don't think anything else ever bridged the gap between UUCP and SMTP
with all the required path mangling and header adjustments.

I did it with smail, the predecessor to exim. It didn't have the fully general
rewriting of sendmail, but it had enough special cases for the transports people actually used.

Once we had uucp pathalias, we tended to use .uucp as a pseudo-TLD and
did the bang paths down in the uucp transport routines.

I remember having to use the % hack to get email from Bitnet to an IP
address. How long has it been since you've had to do anthing like
that?

K&R put C into less than 300 pages. The Bat Book on Sendmail is big
enough to anchor a small boat and, alas, I've been forced a couple of
times to grovel through it.

Not this century that's for sure.

They put C into way less than that - all the facts were in the
short reference section at the back (about ten pages IIRC) the rest was
just verbose explanation and examples. I learned C from a photocopy of
the reference section of the first edition in the two weeks I had to wait
for the compiler to arrive - workplace training circa 1982 - when it did
arrive I had to rewrite a lot of the code I'd written because it lacked
bitfield support.

40 pages (179 to 219) in the first edition.

What he said. For awhile, I managed to get what I needed, against
all advice, by directly editing sendmail.cf. Last time not. Combination
of cook-booking and BatBook groveling and m4. A separate language
just to edit a config file? Yow!

Having said that, I use a macro processor (not m4) for lightly
preprocessing my input to ipfw.

As the old saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a thumb.

There were a lot of macrogenerators floating around in the 1960s. m4 was a fairly
direct rewrite in 1977 of Strachey's GPM which was written around 1964.

If you were developing a Unix mail program in the early 1980s, and you found
that the config files were getting tedious to write by hand, and you
looked for a tool to automate the repetitive parts, m4 is what you had.

I agree it would be nice if someone had redone the config language to be less opaque,
and maybe even strip out some of the complex rewriting stuff nobody has used in this
millennium, but if you care about that, you use postfix or exim.

Can't explain gnu autoconf, though. That was a decade later and by then we all knew
how painful m4 was.

This is the one I still use:

The guy was at Cambridge around the time of Strachey, but he wanted
something much more general. No marker to introduce a macro.

co-worker at cambridge science center was responsible for what becomes
the ibm internal network (larger than arpanet/internet from just
about the beginning until sometime mid/late 80s) ... was also used
for the corporate sponsored BITNET:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITNET

77, we transfer out to IBM San Jose Research and in fall of 1982 get
a csnet gateway (NSF funds CSNET, later merges with BITNET)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSNET
CSNET was a forerunner of the National Science Foundation Network
(NSFNet) which eventually became a backbone of the Internet. CSNET
operated autonomously until 1989, when it merged with Bitnet to form the
Corporation for Research and Educational Networking (CREN). By 1991, the
success of the NSFNET and NSF-sponsored regional networks had rendered
the CSNET services redundant, and the CSNET network was shut down in
October 1991.[9]

.... snip ...

1998 afc post with SJR CSNET gateway announce
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/98.html#email821022
2000 afc posts with CSNET email about ARPANET moving off NCP to TCP/IP
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2000e.html#email821230
and CSNET email about transition had more than few problems
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2000e.html#email830212

Edson was responsible for the internal network
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edson_Hendricks
SJMerc article about Edson (he recently passed aug2020) and "IBM'S
MISSED OPPORTUNITY WITH THE INTERNET" (gone behind paywall but lives
free at wayback machine) SJMerc article
http://web.archive.org/web/20000124004147/http://www1.sjmerc ury.com/svtech/columns/gillmor/docs/dg092499.htm

Also from wayback machine, some references off Ed's website
http://web.archive.org/web/20000115185349/http://www.edh.net /bungle.htm

Starting early 80s, I had HSDT project (T1 and faster computer links)
and working with the NSF director, was suppose to get $20M to
interconnect the NSF supercomputer centers ... then congress cuts the
budget, some other things happen, and finally an RFP is released (based
in part on what we already had running). Copy of Preliminary announce
(Mar1986)
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002k.html#12

The OASC has initiated three programs: The Supercomputer Centers Program
to provide Supercomputer cycles; the New Technologies Program to foster
new supercomputer software and hardware developments; and the Networking
Program to build a National Supercomputer Access Network - NSFnet.

.... internal IBM politics prevent us from bidding on the RFP. the NSF
director tries to help by writing the company a letter (with support
from other agencies), but that just makes the internal politics worse
(as did claims that what we already had running was at least 5yrs ahead
of the winning bid). The winning bid doesn't even install T1 links
called for ... they are 440kbit/sec links ... but apparently to make it
look like its meeting the requirements, they install telco multiplexors
with T1 trunks (running multiple links/trunk). We periodically ridicule
them that why don't they call it a T5 network (because some of those T1
trunks would in turn be multiplexed over T3 or even T5 trunks). as
regional networks connect in, it becomes the NSFNET backbone, precursor
to modern internet

Funny this comes up. Right now I’m working on a work-alike for IBM’s PL/I
macro preprocessor. The input is mostly free-form, and the macro language
itself is roughly a subset of PL/I. I won’t post a link to the current
version, which I labeled “pre-alpha” and has some problems, but the new
version will be coming along “real soon now” and fixes all the bugs that
have been identified.
