National ROS Network List #08 October 1, 1986 The SYSOPS utilizing ROS (Remote Operating System) have united their efforts to better serve their users and formed the ROS NETWORK. This listing provides both the ROS# and system information for each system participating as of OCT. 01, 1986. On each of the National ROS NETWORK systems, a file area named RNET1086.lbr will carry this list, a file named ROS-SYS.NEW for new system applications , a file named RNET1086.LTR , the ROS-NET newsletter.A file named ROSDIRxx.LBR where xx denotes one of 6 US and 3 Canadian areas (NE,SE,SC,NC,SW,NW,EC,CC, or WC) to make finding files on this huge system much easier will have directories for the local area . The main effort of the ROS NETWORK is to better support each of our members by providing a co-operative listing of files available, ROS News and program updates. Each of the participating SYSOPS wish to express their gratitude for the outstanding contribution made by Steve Fox. From his unselfish expertise, time and talents, ROS was written and placed into the Public Domain. There is now ROS-PC , a share-ware PC version of ROS.Most ROS-NET boards will have both versions available for download and will aid in setting up ROS boards. The ROS NETWORK is to benefit the end user - to that end, please feel free to comment on any area which could serve you better. Beginning with this net list, the version of ROS each member is using will be listed with their system description. There is now a list of boards previously running ROS and having ROS support files and lists available.There is also a list of known ROS boards not yet on the ROS- NET.Any of these not wanting to be on the net at this time will have * after the number.Any boards accessable by PC-PURSUIT will have ** after the number.Please recruit any ROS boards you find or aid to start for the ROS-NET and report any changes in your boards or the version you are running to the area collection point.We are still looking for vollunteers to be collection points for SC,NC,EC,CC,WC. This is official notice that beginning with the November list any vacant ROS-NET numbers will be re-assigned.All systems running ROS-PC will be noted as such.All others are running cp/m versions and any special changes made by the sysop will be noted.If you have any changes not listed tell us so we can list it and make it available for others to use. --==* National ROS SYSTEM Numbers *==-- SYSOP Name: ROS Name: ROS Phone: ID#: MAX MODEM: Ver =============== =================== ============ ====== ========== Steve Fox ALBUQUERQUE ROS 505 299-5974 ROS#01 2400bps 3.5 Closed May 1986 ROS#02 Jim Gronek GOLD MINE ROS 602 247-2880 ROS#03 2400bps No Longer Running ROS Software ROS#04 James Durkin KUG ROS 619 259-4437 ROS#05 1200bps Terry Smith SBKAY ROS 714 862-3995 ROS#06 1200bps Bill Noble PERCIVILS ROS 619 367-6397 ROS#07 2400bps Chris Turvey CYGNUS X-1 ROS 205 883-6507 ROS#08 2400bps Rea Williams El Toro ROS 714 855-0672 ROS#09 2400bps Erwin Reyer PeeDee Exchange ROS 803 393-7399 ROS#10 2400bps Bill Christison Santa Fe ROS 505 988-5867 ROS#11 1200bps Ron Mani SOWEGA CPM ROS 912 888-6264 ROS#12 2400bps Leonard Giberg SOWEGA MS-DOS ROS 912 436-5683 ROS#13 2400bps 3.5 Tom Bowerman Golden Spirngs ROS 205 238-0012 ROS#14 2400bps Charles Zurenko Neonline ROS 516 466-4625 ROS#15 2400bps No longer running ROS software ROS#16 Closed - Situation Unknown ROS#17 Dave Gannon Narragansett Bay 401 683-9115 ROS#18 1200bps Russell Boyce Memphremagog ROS-PC 802-334-7975 ROS#19 1200bps 3.5 Russell Boyce Memphremagog ROS-CPM 802 334-7976 ROS#19 1200bps Aaron Pelton Mad River ROS 802 496-4123 ROS#20 2400bps Darrell Pittman Beaumont KUG ROS 409 722-6812 ROS#21 1200bps traded QX10 for PC and not online yet ROS#22 1200bps Coleman Smith Fayetteville RBBS 919 864-0118 ROS#23 1200bps John Hohensee 714 381-2887 ROS#24 2400bps 3.5 Jeffrey Nonken Falcon's Nest 714 891-8843 ROS#25 1200bps Jay Pennell Bellevue ROS 206 641-4521 ROS#26 1200bps** Michael Bartell BOSKUG ROS 617 776-1332 ROS#27 1200bps** John Nicholson Alamogodo ROS 505 437-2280 ROS#28 1200bps Dave Van Cleef Unknown Kadath ROS 201 615-0214 ROS#29 1200bps ------------------------------------------------------------------- Systems charging fees have a dollar sign "$" after phone number.

To aid in the growth of the ROS-NET and to cut down on the cost of transfering files to other ROS-NET sysops we should start taking advantage of the PC-PURSUIT service provided Telenet.this is a night and weekend program that for $25 sign-up and a flat $25 per month provides unlimited use 6pm to 7am weekdays and all weekend.it provides 2-way service from the local calling areas of 14 cities nationwide (Atlanta,Boston,Chicago,Dallas,Denver,Detroit,Houston,Los Angeles, Newark,New York,Philadelphia,San Francisco,Seatle,Washington,DC)and one way service from the local calling areas(unless you are willing to call longdistance)of thousands of Telenet nodes.if you are not in one of the 14 cities and want to see if you are in the local calling area of a Telenet node call 1-800-368-4215 for info or to sign up.in Va.(703) call689-5700.ROS#19 has a list of telenet nodes also if you want to leave a message on his board.we should recruit an easy to access board in one of those 14 cities to use as a transfer point for the net.PC-PURSUIT membership will mean a sysop can economicly obtain the latest files and transfer the ROS programs to boards nationwide.there are a lot of boards that are little used and the sysops would welcome more callers especialy sysops that share files.to get free board listings and lists of local exchanges you get 10 minutes free time on 2 info boards 1-800-835-3001 or 1-800-222-6021 24 hrs.these are Fido boards and are down for Fido-net transfers in the wee hours.as soon as possible a library containing a list of boards in the 14 cities,a two part list of local exchanges in those areas,and a file called access that has instructions for using a toll-free telenet service that gives listings of local telenet node numbers in any area code you give,will be distributed to all ROS-NET boards.the name of that library will PCP-INFO.LBR. Because there are so many existing ROS boards that we have not contacted we will attempt to list those names and numbers as we come accross them. if you know of a board running any version of ROS please share the number and make sure the sysop gets a current copy of RNETxx86.LBR.
