Welcome to the ThoughtScape of MindVox
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Since you have arrived at this nexus point within Cyberspace, you presumably
|
|||
|
have at least a basic idea of what we are, and what you expect to find here.
|
|||
|
You may have read an article by or about one -- or some -- of us, seen a
|
|||
|
clip, attended a conference, or just taken a spin through the electronic
|
|||
|
landscape to see what fate had in mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Whatever has brought you here, you want to find ...something. It might be
|
|||
|
as simple as the latest stock quote or a piece of shareware, or it could be
|
|||
|
as complex and all-encompassing as trying to give your life some new level
|
|||
|
of understanding that allows you to find peace of mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Chances are that for most of you, what you desire lies somewhere between the
|
|||
|
two absolutes delineated by NeW WaReZ and online therapy. Although MindVox
|
|||
|
is suitably equipped to supply just about anything you may desire, it's pri-
|
|||
|
mary focal point isn't shareware, or junk that can be found on ftp sites and
|
|||
|
PC boards spread throughout the land.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
MindVox is a storehouse of knowledge pertaining to a wide variety of topics,
|
|||
|
-- more --
and contains a vast collection of archives that house information on every-
|
|||
|
thing from software updates, viruses, security news, drug information, legal
|
|||
|
issues effecting Cyberspace, and electronic digests and anthologies . . .
|
|||
|
all the way to a constantly growing library that chronicles the very incep-
|
|||
|
tions of Cyberspace, with timeslices of systems dating all the way back to
|
|||
|
1979 -- the first bulletin boards ever to exist.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
MindVox runs on pretty complex, custom software that makes everything as
|
|||
|
easy to use as possible. The system itself is in a constant state of change
|
|||
|
as we make improvements, implement your suggestions, fix problems stemming
|
|||
|
from complaints, and generally evolve the state-of-the-art in online tech-
|
|||
|
nology.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We're running on an expensive collection of hi-tech toys, with a lotta
|
|||
|
modems, workstations, hard disks, terminal servers and bandwidth. We are
|
|||
|
BeTTeR, NeWER, FLASHIER, SHinY, BrIGHT and Cheaper ThaN almost anything on
|
|||
|
earth, or in outer space for that matter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Although this is really neato, our long-term goal is to move everything onto
|
|||
|
an MSDOS based machine, purchase a big house in the suburbs, and fill the
|
|||
|
basement with roughly a hundred 386s and a real big air conditioner.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
The closest tangible structure that MindVox could be likened to, is a
|
|||
|
sprawling Tavern at the crossroads of the entire world. Whether you have
|
|||
|
jacked into Vox by dialing a local number with your modem, or stacked to-
|
|||
|
gether a web of net connections that spans the world, you have arrived --
|
|||
|
and while you might make use of the facilities provided, chances are you're
|
|||
|
not here 'cuz you want to flip through an online multimedia encyclopedia, or
|
|||
|
because you're on a quest for that elusive copy of MegaTerminal 92.7Y NOW
|
|||
|
SUPPORTING NEON ANSI MODE and V.FAST!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You're here because you want to interact with people that you won't find on
|
|||
|
any other system -- pioneers in the fields of computer science, science-
|
|||
|
fiction, music, the arts, religion, altered states, and future realities --
|
|||
|
writers, musicians, artists, programmers, designers, directors, actors, en-
|
|||
|
trepreneurs, business-people, politicians, chemists, body-builders, and
|
|||
|
Elvis.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You're bored with the cookie-cutter tract houses that litter the electronic
|
|||
|
landscape with copies of copies. All featuring the same thing, with the
|
|||
|
same environment and the same people. Your cruise through the Datasphere
|
|||
|
has brought you to our gates because it's more interesting to hang out in an
|
|||
|
experimental theatre, recording studio, occult bookstore, headshop, R&D lab
|
|||
|
or club, with people you read about; than a 7-11, with people you're sick
|
|||
|
-- more --
and tired of.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Technology has created one of the most unique possibilities in the history
|
|||
|
of human interaction; Anytown USA can jack into Haight-Ashbury in the 60's,
|
|||
|
Soho in the 70's, any place or time that has ever been and places that never
|
|||
|
were and exist only by mutual wish-fulfilment . . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
MindVox is a celebration of possibilities
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Jack In, Rock Out and Feed your Head!

Setting the proper terminal emulation can greatly simplify your online
|
|||
|
existence. The two most common selections are VT100 and ANSI. In fact
|
|||
|
these settings are SO common, that if your terminal program doesn't support
|
|||
|
them, you either have a REALLY old machine, a REALLY bad terminal program,
|
|||
|
or are calling into MindVox via Intergalactic relay from Alpha Centuri. If
|
|||
|
your communications software doesn't support terminal emulation, specify
|
|||
|
it as "unknown".

Hi,
|
|||
|
I made this account about three days ago. Hope everything is okay with my
|
|||
|
credit card. I looked it up and [CENSORED]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Am having trouble connecting. Is there a specific connect command string
|
|||
|
(i.e. on GEnie "HHH" upon connect, on CServe "Control C", etc.)?
|
|||
|
Also, would like detailed info on how to connect to your system through the
|
|||
|
SprintNET. I already know about the @D and d1, etc. What is your C
|
|||
|
address, please ? :) Can't afford too many ld calls to NY. Am in CA,
|
|||
|
you know and believe $2/hour will be easier on my cheque book.
|
|||

Welcome to the ThoughtScape of MindVox
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Since you have arrived at this nexus point within Cyberspace, you presumably
|
|||
|
have at least a basic idea of what we are, and what you expect to find here.
|
|||
|
You may have read an article by or about one -- or some -- of us, seen a
|
|||
|
clip, attended a conference, or just taken a spin through the electronic
|
|||
|
landscape to see what fate had in mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Whatever has brought you here, you want to find ...something. It might be
|
|||
|
as simple as the latest stock quote or a piece of shareware, or it could be
|
|||
|
as complex and all-encompassing as trying to give your life some new level
|
|||
|
of understanding that allows you to find peace of mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Chances are that for most of you, what you desire lies somewhere between the
|
|||
|
two absolutes delineated by NeW WaReZ and online therapy. Although MindVox
|
|||
|
is suitably equipped to supply just about anything you may desire, it's pri-
|
|||
|
mary focal point isn't shareware, or junk that can be found on ftp sites and
|
|||
|
PC boards spread throughout the land.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
MindVox is a storehouse of knowledge pertaining to a wide variety of topics,

MindVox [HELP: FORUMS] Reference
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The MindVox Forums are divided into AREAS and FORUMS. AREAS refer to a com-
|
|||
|
mon "umbrella" of related topics, for example: CYBERSPACE is an AREA that
|
|||
|
encompasses many individual FORUMS that somehow pertain to the central theme
|
|||
|
of CYBERSPACE.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To move through the various AREAS you can either use the GO command and type
|
|||
|
out their full or partial names, or make use of the ">" and "<" keys to move
|
|||
|
up or down the MindVox AREAS respectively.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To do the same thing with FORUMS you may also use the GO command, or the "+"
|
|||
|
and "-" keys to move back and forth through the Forums or Newsgroups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-=[> Commands <]=-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When you are reading the various messages that comprise the MindVox Forums,
|
|||
|
you are in a separate sub-section of MindVox where a different set of com-
|
|||
|
mands is active. This is similar to the ARCHIVES, HOME, MAIL, STATUS and
|
|||
|
other sub-menus.
|
|||
|
-- more --
However, there are certain FORUM commands that will work from the central
|
|||
|
MindVox menu. These include: ABOUT, GO, NEW and UNJOIN. A detailed listing
|
|||
|
of the Forum commands follows.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
ABOUT -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
About will present you with a listing that tells you ABOUT the Forum that
|
|||
|
you are presently in. If you want information about any particular Forum on
|
|||
|
MindVox, supply it in the form of an argument.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: ABOUT UNIX
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Would cause MindVox to pattern-match "UNIX" and read the information file
|
|||
|
about the Area: Computers Forums: Unix. If you would like information on
|
|||
|
ALL available MindVox Forums, then use the command: ABOUT ALL
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note that About ONLY works on MindVox Forums, it does absolutely nothing
|
|||
|
when you query it about Newsgroups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
AGAIN -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
Again re-reads the message that you have just read. It simply means "I want
|
|||
|
to read this message AGAIN!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
BACK -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Go BACKwards and read the previous message. If there is no previous mes-
|
|||
|
sage, BACK will act as AGAIN and re-read the current message.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
CANCEL -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The CANCEL command is used to delete a message that you have posted. You
|
|||
|
can only remove messages that have been posted from your account. Other
|
|||
|
people's messages will not be effected by invoking this command. See also:
|
|||
|
POST
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
CATCH -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Catch is used to mark all the messages in the Forum or Newsgroup that you
|
|||
|
are presently in, as having been read. This is useful if a section has a
|
|||
|
lot of new messages and you want to reset your NEWscan so that it thinks you
|
|||
|
have already seen all of them. This is especially handy in some of the
|
|||
|
high-traffic Usenet Newsgroups and MindVox Forums. It can be essential if
|
|||
|
-- more --
you don't call very often and JOINed a lot of different Forums and News-
|
|||
|
groups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
DOWNLOAD -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Download is used to download the current message with whatever protocol you
|
|||
|
have selected in STATUS (X, Y, Z modem, or Kermit). Normally you would not
|
|||
|
want to download short messages, because its not worth the hassle if you
|
|||
|
just want to read a few paragraphs. However, many people belong to
|
|||
|
mailing-lists or receive electronic journals or digests through the net and
|
|||
|
these can be quite lengthy. The download feature is implemented primarily
|
|||
|
for this purpose.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
FOLLOW -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This command allows you to FOLLOW-up on a message or letter, including quot-
|
|||
|
ed text within your reply. This can help a great deal if you need to estab-
|
|||
|
lish context. MANY messages travel strange and arduous routes before set-
|
|||
|
tling into a Newsgroup or mailing-list, and if you send mail to someone ask-
|
|||
|
ing about some message they posted last month . . . they might have no idea
|
|||
|
what you're talking about if you don't include a piece of the message to
|
|||
|
remind them!
|
|||
|
-- more --
For example: [Return] 1-42, [Q]uit: FOLLOW
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Although FOLLOW assumes that the intended recipient is also the author of
|
|||
|
the message or letter, an address other than that of the original sender can
|
|||
|
be specified. For example you may want to comment on something you have
|
|||
|
just seen posted somewhere and send along an example of what you're talking
|
|||
|
about.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: [Return] 1-42, [Q]uit: FOLLOW eric@clapton.com Would allow
|
|||
|
you to include quotes from message #42 to eric, even if message #42 wasn't
|
|||
|
from eric.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Multiple addresses can also be specified.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: [Return] 1-42, [Q]uit: FOLLOW eric@clapton.com, tuc,
|
|||
|
dave@hamster.org Would send mail to eric and dave at the Internet sites
|
|||
|
clapton.com and hamster.org, respectively, and to the MindVox Member named
|
|||
|
Tuc. See also: FORWARD, POST
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
FORWARD -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
Forward works in a way that is similar to FOLLOW but instead of allowing the
|
|||
|
insertion of quoted text into the body of your message, it simply sends a
|
|||
|
verbatim copy of the message or letter to the recipient(s) you want to send
|
|||
|
copies to. Forward the mail command has NOTHING to do with FORWARD files in
|
|||
|
the HOME section of MindVox. See also: FOLLOW, POST
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GO -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The GO command is used to move to another Forum or Newsgroup. You can ei-
|
|||
|
ther type its complete name, or just a few characters. Based upon how much
|
|||
|
information you have provided, MindVox will do its best to pattern-match the
|
|||
|
text to the Area you want to enter. You do not have to be JOINed to a Forum
|
|||
|
or Newsgroup in order to GO there.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
INDEX -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Prints a complete listing of the available Forums or Newgroups, depending on
|
|||
|
which section you are presently in. This is identical to the main menu com-
|
|||
|
mands VOXLIST and USELIST respectively.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
LIST -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
The LIST command prints the last couple of messages that have been posted to
|
|||
|
the Forum or Newsgroup that you are in. It can be supplied with an argument
|
|||
|
in the form of a number.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: LIST 30
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Would list the last 30 messages. You can also LIST by AUTHOR or ORGANIZA-
|
|||
|
TION, although in the Forums or Newsgroups LIST defaults to SUBJECT.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
MAIL -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Identical to the SEND command in MAIL.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
NEW -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The NEW command is used to do a scan for New messages in the MindVox Forums
|
|||
|
and Usenet Newsgroups that you have asked to be JOINed to. It only scans
|
|||
|
for new messages in the areas that you want to read, it will not find new
|
|||
|
messages in sections you have not told MindVox you wish to be JOINed to.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
POST -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
POST is used to enter a new message to one of the Forums. You will be asked
|
|||
|
if you want to continue with the current Subject, or select a new one; if
|
|||
|
you are posting to a Usenet Newsgroup you may also be asked a series of
|
|||
|
questions regarding distribution, cross-posting, and queries that pertain
|
|||
|
exclusively to the Usenet NEWS software.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After supplying the required Subject information, you will be placed into
|
|||
|
the editor you have configured using the STATUS command from the main Mind-
|
|||
|
Vox menu. See also: CANCEL
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
QUIT -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Quit from the Forums or Newsgroups and exit back to the central menu.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
SEARCH -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Allows you to do a SEARCH on the current Forum you are in. You may search
|
|||
|
by AUTHOR, KEYWORDS, or SUBJECT. This command is useful if there are hun-
|
|||
|
dreds or thousands of messages in an Area, and you are looking for messages
|
|||
|
that pertain to some specific piece of information, or have been posted by
|
|||
|
one particular person.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-- more --
(Un)JOIN -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Typing JOIN on a Newsgroup that you already JOINed, serves as a toggle to
|
|||
|
UN-JOIN it and remove it from your NEWscan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
WRITE -
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Write will save the current letter or message into a file in your HOME
|
|||
|
directory. If the file already exists, then the current message will be ap-
|
|||
|
pended to the file.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: [Return] 1-42, [Q]uit: write
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Appended to file /member/messages]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Would append the current message to the end of your mailbox. You can also
|
|||
|
specify a filename, for example: [Return] 1-42, [Q]uit: write cars.forsale
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Written to file: /member/cars.forsale]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As you may or may not have noticed, all text that pertains to your account
|
|||
|
ends up in your HOME directory in one form or another. You can load your
|
|||
|
-- more --
mail into editors, send it to other places, or sort it all out using the
|
|||
|
tools provided in your HOME area. You can also MAIL files that you edit or
|
|||
|
download from that section, or WRITE from the Forums or Newsgroups.

SOCIAL: BANDWIDTH
|

|

|
The Bandwidth Forum is here to discuss all those things that just don't fit
|
|||
|
into the topic-oriented forums. Like, for example, a discussion of hot new
|
|||
|
silicon might naturally lead some of you to a discussion of who has had sil-
|
|||
|
icone injections. Bring it over here when it gets off-topic; there are no
|
|||
|
off-topic topics in Bandwidth. Also, this will be the place where you can
|
|||
|
begin discussions on one subject and have them branch out in billions and
|
|||
|
billions of directions. Who knows that path it'll take? Join in and help
|
|||
|
figure it out.
