I just checked bucktooth-0.1pr5's configure.xinetd and, well, guess what: tecnico@sole ~/src>$ diff bucktooth-0.1pr{5,6}/configure.xinetd 12c12 < Configure (xinetd) for Bucktooth/$VERSION_D (C)1998-2003 Cameron Kaiser --- > Configure (xinetd) for Bucktooth/$VERSION_D (C)1998-2005 Cameron Kaiser I must have corrected this very same issue when I installed bucktooth-0.1pr5 time ago, but forgot about it and did not report the matter. > Thanks for the report.

When those media go, that's the end of that data, and I know I haven't gotten every important file ever created. If you've got some old disks that have files you never did anything with, please consider sending them or a copy of them to me. That stuff is precious; and it is rare; and it is finite. That's what matters. /* More nostalgic stuff */ Also, some time ago I happened to visit http://www.lights.com/hytelnet, a directory of public Telnet servers, last updated on september 4th 1997: Hytelnet was the first online, hypertext Internet directory, compiled in 1990. It is no longer being maintained and none of the links are active. If you are interested in linking to library home pages and web-based online catalogs, see Libdex - the library directory The Hytelnet Archive shows the large number of telnet sites that were active before the World Wide Web came along. Browse through the list of early sites which started sharing information online. You may also want to see Cameron Kaiser's Hytelnet and the Hytelnet-HTTP Museum Gateway Many library catalogues where available for searches via this protocol. In the directory that lists servers on a geographic base, I searched the list of Italian servers: Library Catalogs:Italy * European Southern Observatory at La Silla * European University Institute, Florence, Italy * FABRICA: Centro di Documentazione (Venice) * International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste * Istituto Universitario di Architettura Venezia * Istituto e Museo di Storia Della Scienza Firenze * Politecnico di Torino * Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (Italy) * Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale * Universita de Lecce (Italy) * Universita di Modena * Universita' Ca' Foscari di Venezia (Italy) * University of Calabria (Italy) * University of Pisa (Italy) * University of Siena (Italy) * University of Udine * Vatican Library (Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana) Most host names are no longer valid, and most of those that do resolve no longer have a telnet service available. Only three did still show an active telnet server when I first checked this year: "European University Institute, Florence, Italy": it just presents itself as a SunOS 5.8 machine, but no more public access is available. The second server does not seem to be operative any longer, it is the one at "Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (Italy)", that until last august would gleefully greet its guests this way: ======================================================================== | ======= | | TTTTTTT | | |O|O|O| S c u o l a N o r m a l e S u p e r i o r e | | TTTTTTTTTT | | || || || | B I B L I O T E C A | | ========== ***************************** | | TTTTTTTTTT DEC ALPHA SERVER 2100 | | || || || | OPENVMS AXP 7.1 (comp.2000) | | ========== | | TTTTTTTTTT Decnet: BIBSNS (32759) | | || || || | Internet: 192.84.155.29 (Bibsns.Sns.It) | | ========== | ======================================================================== A V V I S O A G L I U T E N T I ----------------------------------- A partire da Lunedi' 7 ottobre 2002, il catalogo della Biblioteca della Scuola Normale Superiore e' disponibile all'indirizzo Internet: http://catalogo.biblio.sns.it ----------------------------- ******************************************************************************* Starting Monday, October 7th 2002, the catalogue of the Library of Scuola Normale Superiore is available at the Internet address: http://catalogo.biblio.sns.it ----------------------------- ******************************************************************************* Username: BIB User authorization failure But the last one was a real surprise: telnet (librs6k) *** ON LINE PUBLIC CATALOG *** *** Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana & Rete U.R.B.S. *** UNIONE ROMANA BIBLIOTECHE SCIENTIFICHE ----- Geac Advance software ----- ****************************************************** *** alla richiesta di login digitare: winita e da dos opacita *** at the login prompt type: wineng and from dos opaceng *** Please mail comment to urbs@librs6k.vatlib.it *** *** Attenzione usare ansi emulazione per opac login *** *** Please use ansi emulation for opac login *** login:opac ************************************************************************ * * * * * Welcome to AIX Version 4.2! * * * * * * Please see the README file in /usr/lpp/bos for information * * pertinent to this release of the AIX Operating System. * * * * * ************************************************************************ Last unsuccessful login: Wed Jul 6 14:11:55 DFT 2005 on /dev/pts/11 from AAR135.vatlib.it Last login: Fri Oct 14 20:43:18 DFT 2005 on /dev/pts/0 from 80.68.194.26 UniVerse Command Language 9.4 (c) Copyright 1996 Vmark Software Inc. - All Rights Reserved ADV logged on: Fri Oct 14 20:46:04 2005 Geac Advance System Unione Romana Biblioteche Scientifiche 14 OCT 2005 Geac Advance (6.7.15.1) opac URBS 20:46 Unione Romana Biblioteche Scientifiche PUBLIC ONLINE CATALOGUE 1.
