In the hope that the answer to this question has something to do with the
Internet, I've linked publicity item 26 to Internet item 42.

Hytelnet systems are systems that let you telnet to lots of places.  As it
is menu driven it is not unlimited, but it is quite extensive (if you want
to try it out, there is a menu fo hytelnet systems on MSU Gopher).  The
hytelnet systems I have seen have had a menu of freenets, so I would
imagine that they probably found us off MSU Gopher.

Well,  wherever I go I leave all three of my E-Mail addresses:
moose@grex.cyberspace.org
moose@m-net.arbornet.org
dave@nceet.snre.umich.edu

So someone may have seen it that way...  but I think the MSU gopher is more 
reasonable...

Tying up one of our lines......

I didn't see the .plan in question, but possibly not - the person may have
merely left enough on the screen (or in the buffer) to be obviously
interesting.  Quite likely, on this Galactically Boring system.

I learned of the Grex system off the MSU gopher, Hytelnet menu. Just as a
point of reference.

I learned from tj the answer to the original question! HYTELNET is a
host at  access.usask.ca   (login: hytelnet), which provides an extensive
and categorized listing of internet host sites. Here is one menu down
from the top:

                   Other Telnet-accessible resources

<ARC000> Archie: Archive Server Listing Service
<CWI000> Campus-wide Information systems
<FUL000> Databases and bibliographies

<DIS000> Distributed File Servers (Gopher/WAIS/WWW)
<BOOKS>  Electronic books
<FEE000> Fee-Based Services

<FRE000> FREE-NETs & Community Computing Systems
<BBS000> General Bulletin Boards
<HYT000> HYTELNET On-line versions

<NAS000> NASA databases
<NET000> Network Information Services
<DIR000> Whois/White Pages/Directory Services

<OTH000> Miscellaneous resources

Grex can be found under General Bulletin Boards. The entry for grex
must be our own info@cyberspace.org response (if we did something
like that - do we?) since it appears to be written by someone that knows
grex well.

Further to #11: the program HYTELNET is widely distributed, and can be
configured to permit initiation of telnet connections by hypertext
selections. The copy at access.usask.ca is not so configured, but
apparently the one at msu-gopher is. The code itself is available
from ftp.usask.ca. The shareware fee is $20.

There a quite a few other such lists out there in WWW-land, too.

Isn't that what's called anal-compulsive?

Now *that's* letting the tail wag the dog.  Talk about putting the Fart
before the Course.    >>>    :) :)
