I am still looking for someone who would be willing to give me shell
access to a machine on the Internet. I'd be willing to pay a flat
monthly or yearly fee.. My requirements are these:
o Must be either local to me (I am in South Pasadena, Los Angeles)
or be able to access it via Internet (i.e. Telnet to it).
(*NO* TELENET or PCPursuit!)
o Must be able to read/send mail and news.
o Emacs or a similar text editor.. (or compile my own).
o Small disk quota, will not be running any processor intensive
programs, only news and mail.
o Shell access, not BBS interface.
So, c'mon guys, all you those with the idle workstations there gathering
dust, what about it? Please note that this is a cross-posted message,
so it would be nice if all replies were by mail.
Thanks.pushp@nic.cerf.net (Pushpendra Mohta) (07/14/90)

Of course, use of the U.S. Government sections of the Internet is governed by appropriate use guidelines for the various agencies involved. The Internet is hardly a public data network. Various regionals may have looser or stricter regulations regarding their portions of the network. Thanks, Milo

While I empathize with your predicament you are PUBLICLY asking for something that is difficult to determine that you have a right to. For today it appears that Internet access is provided to INSTITUTIONS/CORPORATIONS that have legitimate need and are willing to abide by certain rules. So unless you belong to those institutions/corporations what would be the basis of giving you that accessx? Providing access on an INDIVIDUAL basis is at best a murky area. Since Morris@Cornell it may have become even murkier, I know of half a dozen academic insitutions that have removed all external accounts due to perceived liability issues. Now, I personally believe you will find a home (more probably at an academic site then a corporate), I also personally don't subscribe to all of the above and have worked hard to change it along with others. However, it is not necessarily as simple as you have written, and between the cajoling and the PUBLIC aspects of your posting, undoubtedly makes it less likely to happen.

Pushpendra: Could you describe the permission procedure that CERFNET goes through to provide Internet access to individuals? Could you describe contract requirements (if any) for those individuals, especially in the area of NSFNet limitations, etc... Could you describe the costs? Just Curious.

A copy of a number of acceptable use policies can currently be
had from ftp.math.lsa.umich.edu:/pub/emv/acceptable-use/* .
I'm collecting more as I find them. They are labelled according
to the site they were ftp'd from, in order to make it easier to
track down the original source.
Currently the collection looks like:
stag /s/ftp/pub/emv/acceptable-use % ls
cren nic.cerf.net nic.near.net um.cc.umich.edu
farnet nic.mr.net nis.nsf.net
I'm sure there are more out there.
