LIST OF ARCHIVAL/DISTRIBUTION POINTS FOR THE INTERNET HUNT ========================================================== These are sites that I send Hunt files to myself. This means that all these sites are authoritative. Many other sites either copy from or point to these sites. (Note this is not only fine with me, but I encourage it.) Since I have accounts at CICNet and CNI, I have the ability to send Hunt files to their final home on these servers. This means that these sites are the most current. GOPHER SITES ============ CICNet Gopher ------------- Found on the list of US Gophers accessible via the University of Minnesota Gopher, and others.. Name=The Internet Hunt Type=1 Port=70 Path=1/hunt Host=gopher.cic.net ...and there are many other gopher servers with pointers to this one. The InfoSlug at U. Cal. Santa Cruz, for example. CNI Gopher ---------- Found on the list of all Gophers. Name=i-hunt Type=1 Port=70 Path=1/Coalition FTP Archives/public/net-guides/i-hunt Host=gopher.cni.org FTP SITES ========= The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) --------------------------------------------- ftp.cni.org pub/net-guides/i-hunt/ (look at the README file for info) CICNet ------ ftp.cic.net pub/internet-hunt (look at about/00readme.txt for info) SURFnet (European) ------------------ ftp.nic.surfnet.nl mirror-archive/resources/internet-hunt (look at about/00readme.txt for info) TELNET SITES ============ Craig Summerhill of the Coalition for Networked Information indexes the Hunt via BRS software. Telnet to: a.cni.org login: brsuser The Hunt is located on the second screen of database choices. MAILING LISTS ============= bi-l@bingvmb cwis-l@wuvmd kidsnet@vms.cis.pitt.edu libref-l@kentvm lis-l@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu edtech@msu.edu nettrain@ubvm pacs-l@uhupvm1 slaite-l@babson.edu stumpers-list@crf.cuis.edu net-happenings@is.internic.net USENET GROUPS ============= alt.bbs.internet alt.internet.services Speed of Access =============== For those interested in getting their hands on Hunt files as soon as they're available, (such as the questions), here is a listing of the above sites, ranked by the speed with which *I* see them appear on the Nets. 1. gopher at gopher.cic.net (I put the files here myself) 1. gopher at gopher.cni.org (I put the files here myself) 1. ftp ftp.cic.net (I put the files here myself) 1. ftp ftp.cni.org (I put the files here myself) 2. cwis-l@wuvmd (unmoderated listserv) 3. ftp ftp.nic.surfnet.nl (very fast mirror of ftp.cic.net) 4. the other mailing lists 5. the usenet sites 6. telnet a.cni.org Note depending on your local conditions, configuration, traffic level, political situation and phase of the moon (:-), this order may not hold for you. If you have ftp or gopher, then the CICNet or CNI sites should be your fastest bet. If you only have mail, you can either search the archives of cwis-l (which does not require subscription), or use an ftp/mail server such as at BITFTP@PUCC.Princeton.edu or at ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com. 5/26/94
