ISP Suggestions...(was Re: Re:Help With Home Server)

[Matthew M. Gamble]

I wanted to bring the shell server back online, but it is just too big a
security risk to run one these days.  Between people using it to run IRC
bots, send out spam, etc it just became too big a headache.  Anyways, I'll
try to push it by management again, but don't hold your breath.  You are the
first person I've even heard mention our old shell service in the past year.

If you (or anyone on this list, for that matter) really wants / need a shell
account, talk to me off the list and I'll see what I can do.  I run a few
co-lo'd Unix boxes and don't mind giving out free services (shell, DNS, web
hosting, etc).  Perhaps we could setup a tlug shell server?  Also, if anyone
is looking for a secondary DNS host, I can provide one free of charge.

Regards,

M. Gamble
