MIT
This server provides access to the Athena and SIPB AFS
cells. Through this you can get at a number of MIT students' home pages with a variety of information and links to the rest of the web. Eventually we will have local techinfo access.
A couple of MIT specific gateways are provided. One is to the Zephyr locations program (zlocate) and another is to the cview program which gives an overview of workstation availability on campus.
Matthew Gray has written a number of gatways including one to Discuss, a networked electronic 'bulletin board' system developed at MIT, the Geographic Nameserver, a really cool Weather system as well as a few others in progress or too incedental to take credit for. The discuss gateway is still a little bit buggy, but should work fairly reasonably. Send bug reports to mkgray@mit.edu or webmaster@athena.mit.edu. Here is the tarfile for Discuss1.6.The weather server is still in the process of being updated and improved, but works well, and is a very nice usage of Xmosaic 1.1's ISMAP feature.
bert Dvornik has written a program to parse the server logs. Server logs are periodically flushed, but when they are large, querying the logs may time out.
Mark Eichin is working on a gateway to an Amateur Radio Callsigns database.
Calvin Clark has written an index to the MIT Science Fiction Society Database. (Pink)
The News of the Future group at the MIT Media Laboratory is running an experimental news project called the Freshman Fishwrap - a personalized IAP Newspaper.
Other MIT Stuff on WWW
You can get at the MIT Gopher, MIT Techinfo and The Tech. You can also get at the tkWWW home page (tkWWW is another WWW client). Also, there are info pages about various MIT people.
