The Electronic Frontier Foundation ================================== 1001 G Street NW, Suite 950 E Washington DC 20001 USA +1 202 347 5400 (voice) +1 202 393 5509 (fax) +1 202 638 6120 (BBS) Internet: ask@eff.org Internet fax gate: remote-printer.EFF@9.0.5.5.3.9.3.2.0.2.1.tpc.int IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE EFF FTP, GOPHER, WWW, WAIS, BBS AND OTHER ONLINE SERVICES This list does not include ALL changes, just the more important ones. Questions/comments to: ftp-help@eff.org, gopher@eff.org, or ask@eff.org Technical problems/questions/comments to: eff@eff.org or bugs@eff.org Basic EFF info: mail any message to info@eff.org. CuD-related queries to cudarch@eff.org CAF-related queries to kadie@eff.org and/or greenie@eff.org. General changes to the site usually do not affect the /pub/CAF/ directory tree, and may also not affect /pub/Publications/CuD/ either. Note that if a full URL is not given, directories refer to the FTP site (ftp.eff.org). All are reachable via gopher and WWW also. Just convert the paths such that /pub/ is changed to 1/ for "real" gopher clients and to /11/ or /00/ (whichever one works for you) for the gopher emulators in WWW clients, both set for gopher.eff.org. This might not ALWAYS work, but should most of the time. (if it doesn't just look around the site, it's there somewhere.) Example: "/pub/Directory/file.name" means: ftp.eff.org, /pub/Directory/file.name gopher.eff.org, 1/pub/Directory, pick file.name from menu ("real" gopher) gopher://gopher.eff.org/11/pub/Directory, pick file.name from menu (WWW) http://www.eff.org/pub/Directory/file.name (WWW ftp emulator) Note that ~ftp/pub and /pub are the same thing. "Back issues" of this list, from previous months, are archived at ftp.eff.org /pub/EFF/Misc/Historical/[date]_online.changes.gz When available on the BBS (there is usually a bit of a lag between when these files come out on our ftp site, and when they are available on the BBS), call +1 202 393 5509. In most cases, the filename will be a truncated DOS version of the Unix file name, or something fairly similar, and in a file area that has a name similar to the ftp directory (e.g. /pub/Net_info/Technical/ is "Net info -- Internet/Usenet technical" on the BBS.) You may login as anonymous, password guest if you don't wish to become a registered user of the BBS. 04/29/94 - BBS now appears to be stable; disabling external SRAM cache, though slightly slowing down the system, appears to have solved the random system hang problem. - upgraded BBS to TriBBS 5.1.16 - updated /pub/EFF/Issues/Activism/nist_contact.list with some additional gopher information - added several new bulletins & Online Legal door to BBS - events, mail processing, maintenance and upload processing on BBS now occur offline and in the background. 04/28/94 - added bill HR820, "NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS ACT OF 1994": /pub/EFF/Policy/OP/hr820_nat_compet.bill - added a list of NIST contact info and online resources, /pub/EFF/Issues/Activism/nist_online.list - added the Unofficial Internet Book List, /pub/Net_info/ Misc_resources/internet.biblio - added 3 graphics from NIST SST web server: a sign saying "Data Superhighway - No Exit", another saying "Data Superhighway - Drive Carefully", and a NIST logo: /pub/EFF/Misc/Graphics/ ishnoexit.gif, ishdrive.gif, nistlogo.gif (respectively). - updated info in this file (the one you are reading) so it has more accurate info, and now includes info on getting to the BBS 04/27/94 - installed QWK offline mail submenu and utility to the BBS, fixed misc. minor BBS problems; set up BBS to process mail in backgnd. 04/26/94 - updated /pub/EFF/Policy/OP/op2_0.summary - fixed bad symlinks in /pub/Publications/Mitch_Kapor/ - created /pub/EFF/Privacy/Foreign_and_local/CA/ - currently contains 5 files on fingerprinting as a requirement for social services in CA (esp.

Both hearings will be May 3, same timeslots as before. - updated several basic EFF info files in /pub/EFF/Misc - staff.eff, online.eff, and about.eff (which is also linked into many other directories throughout the site. Main change is update to info on EFF online resources - BBS update, addition of GEnie info, clarification of Internet section, etc.) - updated w/English translation /pub/Groups/EF-Norway/about.efn - added tpc.int net-fax FAQ: /pub/Net_info/Technical/netfax_tpc.faq - added OTA proposal and announcement about NII wireless comm. issues - /pub/EFF/Policy/OP/ota_wireless.proposal and ota_ wireless.announce, respectively - added NIST Advanced Technology Program announcement about "five areas of technology for industry development" under the ATP (discusses govt. investment of $745Mil in this cost-sharing R&D program): /pub/EFF/Policy/OP/nist_atp.announce - minor update to /pub/EFF/Policy/Legislation/Foreign_and_local/ Netherlands/nl_crypto.proposal (added note from W.H.

Currently there is Cable Regulation Digest, Com Net News, and IIA Information Policy Online. This is NOT an arcive for general-interest e-zines. See etext.archive. umich.edu, probably the largest collection in the world of such things, and the site of choice for archiving your pubs on the net. - added a Mac util to make fax-via-internet easier: /pub/Net_info/ Tools/tpc_convert_1.0d1.sea.hqx - updated both /pub/Net_info/Misc_resources/ftp_sites.list and /pub/Net_info/Technical/ftp.faq - added Froomkin article on Clipper keys: /pub/EFF/Policy/Crypto/ Clipper/froomkin_clipper_keys.article - added graphic of Tom Jennings, founder of FidoNet: /pub/EFF/Misc/ Graphics/jennings.gif 04/20/94 - replaced /pub/EFF/Policy/Crypto/Clipper/clipper_tis.paper, a paper by Steve Walker of TIS on the Clipper chip, with a complete copy (previous copy was truncated). - added /pub/EFF/Legislation/Foreign_and_local/Netherlands/ nl_crypto.proposal - a Dutch proposal (in Dutch, not English; translation expected soon) for a key-escrow like system for all cryptography, restrictive crypto licensing, and out- right banning of some encryption, as well as outrageous extensions of Dutch jurisdiction. This is a draft proposal. - added EFFector Online 07.07: Clipper & Digital Telephony hearings, Internet privacy hearing results online, 2 positions open at EFF, NY state bill for govt info online needs your support, NTIA privacy Request for Comments re-opened (you should participate). /pub/EFF/Newsletters/EFFector/effect07.07 - added 2 alerts to /pub/Alerts/ - notice of upcoming hearings on Digital Telephony and Clipper (clip-dt_hearings.alert) and notice of re-opening of NTIA privacy Notice of Inquiry - send in yours now - DEADLINE: May 23!

Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet, soon.) /pub/Net_info/Tools/easyview.sea.hqx - added info on the Mike Diana _Boiled_Angel_ zine case; the conviction in this case is probably one of the grossest abuses of the First Amendment in recent history: /pub/EFF/Legal/Misc_cases/mike_diana_case.notes - added note on FOIA-gotten information that indicates that the the FBI has been blatantly lying about the need for the Digital Telephony proposal: law enforcement wiretapping, *according to the FBI's own memos*, has NOT been adversly affected by advances in telecom technology. /pub/EFF/ Digital_Telephony/wiretap_fbi.memo - added short transcript of 20/20's Hugh Downs' criticism of Clipper on national radio: /pub/EFF/Policy/Crypto/Clipper/ downs_clipper.transcript - added full text of NSA employee security manual.
