Hey,

In my search to overcome the problem of not being able to log in from work, I found this:

[ SDF Public Access UNIX System .. Est. 1987 ]

With lots of goodies for Unix lovers. They offer free shell accounts with various levels of access, have old school bulletin boards to discuss topics, etc.

And, the best thing, arpa level gives you access to tinyfugue and outbound access.

I'm checking it out as we speak and wanted to see if any other unix lovers feel the touch of nostalgia when seeing this.

Have to pay for screen.

Deal killer. Screen is the first thing I'm looking for in shell accounts.

Pay is 1 dollar on time only for activation, or just getting someone to vouch for you (in this case - me)

Well, its on their 'join' page:

3. MetaARPA: Sustaining Membership Level

Yeah, different levels: validated user, arpa, and meta-arpa

validation is 1 dollar
arpa is 36 for life
meta-arpa im not sure, but an anual contribution

Shell account with access to useful software costs 36$ per year there.

Oh, ok. I get it now. Just reread everything on the site.

Oh well
