Where is the server?

It has been gone for a long time. There are no vintage mac hotline servers left!

If one of the holders of the line can send me a disk/disc with all the stuff, I could host a server. Nice speedy 1.5 Mb/s upload speed, dedicated beige G3 running Mac OS 8 and AppleShare IP 5, I could add a "Line" to it.

(Extra bonus: both my internet connection and my server are on 1 hour UPS systems, and only twice in the past 6 years have we lost power for more than 1 hour; and I haven't lost my internet connection for more than 10 minutes since switching to cable.)

preterhuman.net was the last one that was still there... went down a couple of days ago. I hope they´re coming back...

Do not worry, my server continues to operate 24/7 ...connection details here: http://vcfa.890m.com/connect.html

Downloads 2 is a mirror of preterhuman that includes everything but the uploads folder

What the devil happened to preterhuman anyway? I haven't been able to get there for at least two weeks!

preterhuman.net I am so sad it's not there.

We know it's down.

The question is why.

Downloads 2 on my server is a mirror of that archive ;)

Don't use the HTTP, use an FTP app and download stuff that way.

BTW, how did you get all this?

Downloading the folders bit by bit over a weeks time with netfreak's permission
alright, preterhuman has been down for over a month. What is going on? Has anyone been able to get in touch with netfreak? I uploaded a file there about 3 months ago, and unfortunately, it's not in your archives, John.

can someone email him? I don't know how to contact him outside of his site.

I believe his whois information is correct

So I've set up a new 68k Hotline with about 6 gigs of storage (presently). Its at ueberlandowiki.net, no login necessary. Just dump things in Uploads, and I'll be more than happy to organize them.

And the software collection on the new server is growing... Add what you have if it's small.

Yes, I'd like to thank chris and paws for uploading software to the hotline!

ah, thanks. I will check it out later. I was looking at my server favorites in frogblast, I have 6 of them, and all of them can not connect for one reason or another.

So is preterhuman dead for good then, or will it be back someday? if the former, I think we should give it a proper funeral. It has served us all well...

-digital ;)

I hope it comes back :( It was a great server :(

Well even if it doesn't, be glad that JohnMM backed it up. Maybe if you guys that loved it so much can donate some money so he can relocate it to a real server that uploads faster than 5kB/s! ;)

Luckily I have nothing against leeching hehe, and knock on wood Comcast has yet to call me regarding the bandwidth usage. Although with their coming switch to a more protocol agnostic throttling system from their current bittorrent focused system (http://government.zdnet.com/?p=3740) I may eventually be penalized automatically for the high bandwidth consumption, we'll see...

I'll start going through my stuff more methodically as soon as I get this damn essay out of the way. My olde software is spread out across three different computers and a couple of Basilisk II HD images..

:beige:

Well search for 68k ready development tools apart from freakin' MPW lead me here (I always mess up my scrap windows lol).

Hier sind echt net viele Deutsche gell? [:D] ]'> Das schöne an amerikanischen Foren ist das es VIEL weniger Streit gibt. lol

If you think there aren't many arguments on American forums, I'd hate to see what German forums look like! :) :)

its really bad bigD.

if theres a new thread everything starts jsut fine. then it gets horribly off-topic and then people start bashing each other. its all the same on most forums ;)

Yea. [}:)] ]'> And often the moderation of german forums starts using the friendly way of talking to strangers (I guess it was 'thy' instead of 'you' in english looooooong ago) once the thread is messed up and commands the wrong people to shut up. ;) Wich leads to even more fightin' .. there are forums that fall totally apart after a while. Look at http://www.irlandforum.de/ I don't dare to post there if they start bashing. rofl

The wiki entry for Hotline is interesting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications

it says the users of Hotline basically revolted against the company after they sued the crap out of the author of the software and left him with nothing. They went out of business shortly after that. Sometimes justice can be poetic.

Hey all, found this thread while doing a google search for my name :)

Preterhuman.net will be back up, but the big question is when. The server hardware is currently sitting on my kitchen floor as I had to pull it out of the DC. I was hoping to have another DC lined up for a quick move but unfortunately the other DC I had in mind seems to be going bankrupt. I'm still attempting to find a DC but most likely will require me to relocate the servers outside of the city I live in. I'm hoping to resolve this within 1-2 weeks.

Great to hear! :) Thank you very very much for posting and giving us an update. :)

Oh, and welcome to the forums :)
