Trying to post this again:
BEST KEPT SECRET CONCERNING APPLE // COMPUTERS IS
Global School Net
Formerly FrED (Free Education) Mail, it can be accessed with an Apple II
computer and a modem (Mine is 2400 Baud). There are nodes all over the USA, so
your call may very well be local, as mine is.
Is anybody interested in a list of the nodes being posted here, or is this old
news? GSN is planning to shut the text-based program at the end of the century
and move on to WWW-stuff.
The system was designed about a dozen years ago in San Diego, California to
allow school students and teachers to have the power of telecommunications. It
is the oldest such system in existence, but includes such things as an
Antarctica "chat room" and EduPage, a thrice-weekly update of all the computer
news published.
