| 
Apr 10 00:21 UTC 1996 |
Hi yall, just a note to say that Grex is
mentioned in Issue 11 of the Fringeware
Review. Issue 10 is just hitting the
stands. Janc wrote a piece on the history
of grex, m-net and so forth.

If she means my article, I could download it here. But I sold it to
fringeware and I suspect it'd be bad manners (at least) to go around handing
out free copies.
It's a discussion of member-operated virtual democracies on the net, with
special reference to M-Net, Grex, and River. It talks about some of the
charms and problems of such systems.

Yes, I mean Jan's article, but please don't download it
yet. Fringeware 's old articles are available
at the web site www.fringeware.com -- Issue 11
will be on the stands in two months or so.
You can order them by phone from Austin Texas!

No, Valerie, that's "thermally disadvantaged beans", remember?

Well, it should be "thermally challenged persons with legume heritage" to be
complete.

Once it is available on the net, all grexers will be able to view it via lynx,
so it would be worthwhile to mention it. In fact, the Grex Web pages which
are in need of reworking ought to point to it once that is possible.

(dunno.)
(I clipped an article about The River from a magazine called Online
or something like that, but it didn't mention Grex, so it's been
laying around my room.)

Jan, unless you explicitly signed a contract giving all rights to Fringeware
Review, you still own the copyright. This means that you have every right
to post it here. Normally, when you sell an article to a magazine all they
are really purchasing is the "first serial rights." That is, they are
purchasing the right to publish it once, and you are guaranteeing that it
hasn't already been published elsewhere.

Having said all that, I just re-read the responses and see that the print
version of Fringeware Review in which your article appears may not have
hit the newsstands yet. If that's the case, you really should wait.

Yup. Thanks for clearing up what the law is though. As usual, it seems
remarkably close to common sense and common courtesy.

Was anyone aware of the piece on GREX in the book "The Internet Navigator"
by Paul Gilster? It's not really an article, but it's a nice mention.
here's the content found on pg 523 in the second edition:

I think it's time for an update. I'll try to get Mr. Glister's email address

If they still think we have Usenet, then it's definitely time
for an update.

kerouac -- they thinik Grex is on the Sun 2, which was what we had before we
got the Sun 3. We switched to the Sun 3 at about the same time we got on the
Net.
I find it somewhat interesting that they list our modems as 300 to fast. If
it was last updated in '93, none of our modems were faster than 2400. Of
course, that was a lot faster by the standards then than it is now.

Kerouac, the 3.2 refered to the version of SunOS, not the CPU. And it's
incorrect anyway. On the Sun 2, we ran SunOS 3.5.

My wife just got some information for jer boss from a source called The
Locator. They faxed her a list of "all the ISP's in Michigan" because her
company is thinking about putting up a homepage.
Grex was listed as an ISP offering slip, ppp, telnet, ftp, gopher, newsnet,
etc. I don't know where that listing came from (but I'm going to try and find
out). Marilyn said "they got the list of the web and faxed it to me". Hmm.
