THE ST NEWS EMAIL ADDRESS DIRECTORY
by Richard Karsmakers
As part of the previous issue's "Mail Bonding for Atari People"
article, an email address directory was offered. This section is
now a new regular column in ST NEWS, of which this is the first
occurrence. I have also kept the list of special services and
interesting net magazines.
SPECIAL SERVICES
Below you will find a list of some special Internet services
that might just make life easier or more interesting to you.
almanac@halcyon.halcyon.com (finger)
An almanac offering birthdays and events.
american@recordings.com (address)
The email address of Def American Recordings, the record
company of, among others, Slayer. I think it's really cool
that even these companies are discovering email.
bdj@engr.uark.edu (address)
Sending a message here will get you subscribed to a more or
less monthly list of forthcoming films. Unbelievably hot info
here!
buckmr@rpi.edu (finger)
This will get the current billboard hot 100 chart on yer
screen. Note that you have to use the "finger" command here!
chem.ucsd.edu (telnet)
A huge Webster dictionary/spelling service. Enter "HELP" (all
caps) for help. Login as "webster". It should be noted that
extensive Webster/Thesaurus services are also available
through Gopher.
cheshire.oxy.edu 7777 (telnet)
A so-called "Zen MOO". If life on the net is too fast for you,
telnet here and find peace of mind.
death@terranet.cts.com (address)
A weekly digest discussing heavy metal song lyrics, and
quoting some lesser known ones, as well as parodies. A few of
these are in this time's "Hidden Article".
dewey.lib.ncsu.edu 7777 (telnet)
This is a more full-fledged MOO, a new generation kind of
thing that might be worth checking out.
dra.com (telnet)
A literature database, not really complete, but contains many
technical books and non-technical stuff as well.
drink@drink.csh.rit.edu (finger)
This is connected to a Coca Cola vending machine in the
Rochester Institute of Technology. Fingering it will cause you
to find out what's left in the machine. Not particularly
useful, but fun nonetheless. If instead you'd like to check
out a vending machine at the University of Wisconsin you can
finger coke@cs.wisc.edu.
freedom.nmsu.edu (telnet)
A DruidMUCK, kind of a Multi User Dungeon. Give it a try. Just
follow the directions after logging in.
gwar@delphi.com (addres)
If you want to communicate with the filthiest scumdogs of the
universe - Gwar - or talk with them about their multi-media
projects then this is the address to write to. They have plans
of setting up a mailing list and stuff, so check this out if
you're not totally grossed out by these guys.
holonet.net (telnet)
The address of the Compact Disc Connection, where info can be
found on over 60,000 CD titles. Enter "CDC" at the opening
prompt.
info.rutgers.edu (telnet)
This service offers a dictionary, Thesaurus, quotations
database.
info-rama@wired.com (address)
Access to the automated server of "Wired" magazine. It can
provide you with about everything you want from the mag. Back
issue articles, press releases, additional info about
articles, contacts with authors, subscriptions, and so on.
Simply send "help" in the body of the message for all info
needed.
lamb-da.parc.xerox.com 8888 (telnet)
This is one the most famous MOOs.
listserv@mitvma.mit.edu (address)
Send a message to this address containing the following text
in the body only (!): "subscribe mini-jir your-name-here". You
will then get the Journal of Irreproducible Results, a semi-
serious scientific weird kind of publication.
majordomo@cs.uwp.edu (address)
This is the reincarnated "new releases" list, for those of you
who always want to know which albums are about to be released
(music, that is). Just send a message to this address
containing the text "subscribe new-releases" in the body.
michael.ai.mit.edu (telnet)
This is supposed to be a good MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). Log in
and enter your name as "guest". That should suffice.
mlol-request@wariat.org (address)
When you send a message here you get sent the latest version
of the "Musical List Of Lists". This is a list of all known
music-related mailing lists, of bands such as Vangelis, Rush,
Black Sabbath, grunge in general, Metallica, etc. It also has
addresses of bass/guitar groups or general hardrock lists.
mmilitia@freenet.tlh.fl.us (address)
The email address of the official International Yngwie
Malmsteen Fan Club, the Malmsteen's Militia.
movie@ibmpcug.co.uk (address)
Send an EMPTY message with the SUBJECT "HELP" to this address
to find out how to get biographies of actors/actresses and
info on just about any film you'd care to know anything about.
You'll get sent a full user manual for further use. It's very
extensive and very powerful. I believe their database is
something like 80 Mb. There's nothing like it anywhere.
nasanews@space.mit.edu (finger)
This will get you the latest NASA press releases, including
recent discoveries and launch schedules.
ned.ipac.caltech.edu (telnet)
When you enter with a login of "ned" this will give you access
to a huge extragalactic stellar database.
normg@halcyon.halcyon.com (finger)
Here you can get the Nielsen Ratings, in case you're
interested in that kind of thing.
pratchett-server@cp.tn.tudelft.nl (address)
Send a message with "help" in the body to get information on
the vast possibilities of the Pratchett Archives (including
reference files, bibligraphy, FAQ, and more). In the US, try
instead pratchett-server@rincewind.mech.virginia.edu.
president@whitehouse.gov (address)
If you want to be among the >100,000 people per year
(subversives included) that mail to the US president, you have
to mail here. If you want to write to the vice-president, just
add "vice." (or "vice-"?) to the beginning of the addresss.
quake@geophys.washington.edu (finger)
Gives you the latest earth quake information. You can also
just telnet to geophys.washington.edu and login/password as
"quake".
resolve@cs.widener.edu (mail)
This is an IP address solver. Internally, all addresses of
computers (such as cs.widerner.edu in this case) are numbers.
Sometimes if you enter a name the computer isn't found because
somehow the numbers can't be found. If you mail to this
address with the body of the letter containing "site" followed
by the name of the computer, it will send you back the numbers
that you can use alternatively.
streview@cix.compulink.co.uk (address)
This is the address where the editorial staff of "ST Review"
can be found.
ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu (telnet)
A history database. You should login as "history". It also
offers Compuserve info if you login as "ex-ussr".
NET MAGAZINES
The net has a wealth of talent. Many people have set up on-line
magazines that you can subscribe to for free. Here's some of
them.
Core rita@eff.org
This does short fiction, poetry and essays, and is
quite small.
Cyberspace Vanguard cn577@cleveland.freenet.edu
This does news & reviews pertaining to the scifi
and fantasy universe. Quite big, with hot news and
stuff about future films and books. Really good.
DargonZine white@duvm.bitnet
This does fiction only, but stories are all part
of a shared-world anthology thing that you really
have to get into to enjoy.
InterText jsnell@ocf.berkeley.edu
A fiction-only magazine. Nothing more, nothing
less. Very good.
Quanta quanta@andrew.cmu.edu
Just like "InterText", but started a bit earlier.
Very big and very good, too.
Twilight World r.c.karsmakers@stud.let.ruu.nl
Just like "Quanta" and "InterText", but not as
old. Just ask to be put on the list and that's it.
For us Atari users it would certainly be worth while sending a
message to "stzmagazine-request@virginia.edu" for a subscription
to the hottest Atari computer mag, "Atari Explorer Online". This
will get you about 200-250 Kb of text every two weeks.
Other general magazines obtainable from the net can be found in
the "Disk Magazine Roundup".
For an utterly complete list of electronic magazines mail to
John Labovitz (johnl@ora.com) or FTP from etext.umich.edu in
"/pub/Zines" as "e-zine-list" (ASCII text version).

The above addresses are believed to be correct, most certainly
at the time of publication, but of course I can't be held
responsible for them. If you know of any additions or changes,
please tell me about them. The Internet is a very dynamic place
and addresses become non-valid or alter within the blink of an
eye.
Most individual entrants have either given permission to be
included or have been taken from other similar lists where I
assume permission was given already. If you want your address to
be removed from this list, please contact me.
Disclaimer
The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared
in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s)
was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes,
bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any
kind should be regarded as outdated. Due to the fact that these pages are
not actually contained in an Atari executable here, references to scroll
texts, featured demo screens and hidden articles may also be irrelevant.
