We have introduced our U-Do-It Internet feature. Prospective subscribers can now connect on any of the Regina lines and login as newuser using the password unibase. Once connected, they can point their browser at www.unibase.com/newuser and signup for any of our services. This will be especially useful for anyone who wants to help a friend get on the net. You can do it all yourself!

Internet problems on SPRINT. Set your smtp mail entry to barney.unibase.com and set your web browser proxy to wwwcache on port 8080. If you don't know how to do this... check our reference page, and if that fails, give us a call at 789-9007.

We have now installed a second terminal server machine locally to handle the 761-0747 rotary line. This was formerly handled by the main UNIBASE server, and has now been set on its own machine. We expect this to provide a more stable connection than was previously found.

Fri Jan 3 23:00 CST 1996
UNIBASE switched service to the new T1 Frame connection to Vancouver. We still connect through SPRINT, however we have changed our access route, connecting first to NETCORE in Vancouver and then to SPRINT. All users should see improvements in performance.

In order to further enhance your performance on the web, we urge you to begin using one of the caching servers on our network. Depending on the loading factor, you may find one server faster than the other. Also, two will be regular caching while one will be a socks host. Check our information page for more on how to connect and use one of the UNIBASE caching servers

Windows 95 users wanting to move to 32 bit software can now find instructions for installing SLIP in Windows 95. Make the modifications while connected, and follow the text/graphic instructions to the world of 32 bit processing on the Internet.

Mar 30 20:53:43 CST 1996 Experienced troubles with name service though out the day. You would have noticed it as a slugish response time for everything. Even local resources. Everything seems back to normal now.

Revamped our reference page. Added more pages about domain name service and virtual hosting.

Mar 3 09:31:46 CST 1996 Trouble in Washington Earlier this morning there was trouble somewhere between Seattle and Stockton. It seems to be fixed now. If you are still experiencing problems let us know.

Fri. Feb 16, 12:30 CST 1996 Major cable break in Oregon There has been a major break in a fibre optic cable in Oregon. This has resulted in serious problems connecting from Canada. The Canadian backbone appears to be functioning normally... but links to the US are disrupted.
There is currently no ETR.

Reset

There is now availible a set of scripts that help you maintain your website. They are the reset scripts. For more info check out Reference Page

New Web Tools

I have implemented the following new tools for personal Web Page development
  1. cgiwrap:
    This allows you to write your own cgi scripts and maintain them yourself. IE: you can create/edit without having to consult with me. Common uses for cgi scripts are form intpreters and database queries.
  2. imagemap:
    This allows you to create/edit your own imagemap files. Common uses of imagemaps include graphical menus (IMNSHO in most cases that use is a poor use of bandwidth).
  3. reset:
    This allows you to 'fix' your pages after you have uploaded them. This script will:

    New Lines, New Modems!

    We have three additional lines and some new 28.8Kbs modems. There are now a total of 6 28.8Kbs modems and 17 public dialup lines. Check out Access Lines!.

    New Web Browsers

    We have 2 new web browsers availible for Windows at our FTP site Netscape 1.2 and Mosaic 2.0f. Both are self-extracting archives, if you need additional help, wait and it will be availible in our Reference pages soon or give us a call (789-9007).

    Internet Courses

    We have put together an Internet course. You can sign up for the course at CMS Computers Plus (586-5504), by e-mailing Leigh Calnek or by filling out this form. (When I create it). The course costs $120.00 and consits of 10 - 1 hour sessions (two sessions are run back to back so one 'class' takes 2.5 hours). The classes are a combination of instruction and hands-on practice. Topics include: Getting connected, WWW, WS_FTP, HTML, Usenet News, Eudora, Telnet and other interactive tools and trouble shooting with these tools. I know some 'advanced systems' guys that should take this course, but you only have to want to learn for this class to be useful.

    Online Documentation

    We are in the process of revamping our web pages. In addition, we will be adding a page of online documentation. These pointers will be a combination of documents located elsewhere on the net as well as some documentation to help you with your Unibase software.

    Price Structure

    Unibase has restructed our accounts. We have added a high volume account that costs less than $1.00 for the first 20 hrs/mo and $1.00 after that. There is another type of account in the planning stages... a low monthly charge and pre-purchased hours. In addition to those new developments we now carry unused time forward to the next month. See our costs page for more details.

    Bring A Friend

    Anouncing the Unibase "Bring a Friend" promotion. For every person that subscribes to Unibase and tells us that you, a Unibase subscriber sent them, we will give you a free month (10 hours) of access. Not valid with any other Unibase promotions, your friend must stay for at least 2 months.
