Message-ID: <3168@utastro.UUCP> Date: 25 Sep 88 07:18:04 GMT References: <7086@gryphon.CTS.COM> <9337@cup.portal.com> <233@serene.CTS.COM> Followup-To: news.misc Organization: U. Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 141 [ this article is cross-posted to news.admin and news.misc ] [ but follow-ups are directed to news.misc, exclusively ] recent articles from such sites as "serene" and "gryphon" may have caught your attention also, enough to make me curious to want to learn what sites *.CTS.COM are all about. Am I mistaken in the impression that there are some kind of commercial time-sharing/BBS type of machines, possibly competing with PORTAL in some ways? Please send me Email and I'll summarize and either post or mail what I learn, depending on the number of requests I get. I post this in the hope that readers will add to the sparse info I can find in the maps and at NIC while at the same time indicating what I know already... also to benefit those who may not have ready. easy access to this info... Here is the information I found in the SRI-NIC database and UUCP-maps: werner> telnet sri-nic.arpa .....
