[comp.windows.x] FYI: a working xwebster host

drich@klaatu.lanl.gov (David O. Rich) (05/05/90)

   From: envbvs@epb2.lbl.gov (Brian V. Smith)

   Try:

   128.32.136.1 (agate.Berkeley.EDU)
   in the hostAddrList.

   Also,

   *hostPort: 103
   *hostServiceName: webster

This works so I thought I'd pass it on.
Thanks Brian!

Dave

Well, now that this info is public, we'll see how long this webster server
port lasts....

I too am wondering.  A while ago I posted a similar query for webster servers
and was lucky to find a local one (said agate.Berkeley.EDU).
I would strongly encourage xwebster users to post a request to their local news
group (or whereever) to locate a nearby server.

To save poor old agate at least from folks at Toronto, Indiana and Brown,
here are some more addresses I found in my quest:

	neat.cs.toronto.edu	128.100.1.65
	iuvax.cs.indiana.edu	129.79.254.19
	bu-it.bu.edu		128.197.2.40

You'll need

	xwebster.hostPort:     2627

in your resources to access these.

Now, if you have a NeXT machine on your network somewhere (and are
entitled to using it) you might want to tap its on-line Webster using
the webster daemon
written by Steve Hayman (sahayman@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu).
