Connect-Ireland plan even more line expansions in the near future. Along with the extra phone lines all Connect-Ireland's existing lines are being tranferred to a digital exchange. The new number will be 01-679 0120 and should be in operation around December 10th. More info?

[=---> 2.d) PTT's ISDN Lines <-----=] "ISDN" means "Integrated Services Digital Network" which is an end to end international digital network for voice (digitized), data, fax and video (digitized) communication. A normal ISDN line uses the same wires as an old analog line, but gives you two logical lines (channels) of 64000 bps each! You need an ISDN-adapter and such an ISDN line to call a BBS below. Voice calls to an ISDN line can be made from analog lines too. The connection charge is the same as on analog lines. You can find rate information in the phone Book. ISDN-users will see a caller's complete phone number if the caller is also an ISDN-user or if he is connected to an ISDN-compatible telephone switch. To call a BBS from outside Ireland, dial your international access code plus 353 plus the number without the first 0. For example, from the USA, dial 011 353 1 6773547, or from Germany, 00 353 1 6773547 to reach my BBS.

The Internet is not a commercial network, but a collection of local data networks that are connected with each other. In Ireland, two such local networks are operated by IEunet and the HEA. To access (login) a computer on the Internet, you need an account on a system that is connected directly via a leased line. This service is called "Telnet". To get files you use a service called "FTP" (File Transfer Protocol). Internet accounts are available from several providers, at Universities, or on large BBS. If you just want to send Internet E-Mail or read Usenet newsgroups (discussion areas with over 4000 topics), then all you need is an account on a system that downloads this data regularly. Even smaller BBS often carry it. Welcome to the Information Superhighway! [=-------> Internet Mail to BBS <--------=] In most cases only the sysop can be reached directly via mail. BBS-users can only be reached on some systems, but the sysop can usually forward the message to a user if necessary. Ask the BBS sysop for details. INTERNET ADDRESS SYSTEM NAME MODEM-NUMBER ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Data not available yet* [=---> Internet Mail to other systems <--=] INTERNET ADDRESS SYSTEM OR COMPANY NAME ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Data not available yet* [=-----> Irish Internet Realtime Services <-----=] These are various *public* and *free* services provided by hosts/entities of the Swiss core Internet. Depending on the type of service or carrier service, access is available in different ways and by several programs. IMPORTANT In order to be able to use any of these services, you need to have access to an Internet host with the required connectivity and service software! Each one of the following services is described by three details: ADDRESS [IP] Network host address of the service, where ADDRESS is the (untranslated) alphanumeric domain-style address and [IP] is the (physical) numeric IP address. TYPE/CARRIER Type of service (or carrier service): the Internet service application program, which provides the network connection. DESCRIPTION Name of the service and a very brief description; login identification, ports etc., if necessary. & DON'T FORGET... that many of these services are operated *voluntarily* by nice net folks, contributing a great deal of useful stuff to the Network. Don't abuse them!

Restricted services are NOT accepted! All entries are examined regularily.) For the time being, the list still contains a few restricted services. Some are only available from within the net of the national Internet provider, some are additionally open to requests from abroad. Later releases of this list will show exclusively REAL *public* and *free* services! [=-----> 2.f) PTT's EirPac/X.25 Lines <-----=] To call a system below you need an X.25 line or an EirPac account (NUI with password) so that you can enter EirPac with a modem or ISDN. Connection charges are based on time and on volume. To reach a system from outside Switzerland, dial 0228 plus the NUA. NUA NAME SYSOP COMMENTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Data not available yet* [=---> 2.g) Voice Mailbox Systems / VMB <----=] To call a VMB below all you need is a touch tone telephone. PHONE-NUMBER NAME SYSOP/COMMENTS COST (Fr./min) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Data not available yet* [=-----> 2.h) TeleFAX Mailbox Systems <------=] To call a FAX Mailbox below you need a FAX-machine or FAX-modem to receive the documents via FAX-polling, and a touch tone telephone if a selection is required. P=Polling only, T=Touch Tone selection.

CALLING CARD & CREDIT CARD CALLS <--=] To get your own card (for free), call and ask for customer service. At the moment a normal call to USA using PTT after 11pm is cheaper than all companies below. But a calling card has many other advantages. For example, 1-800- numbers in USA are reachable, no cash is needed at public pay phones, you can pay for your calls even when you using somebody else's phone, etc. The following numbers must be called VOICE with a normal telephone.
