This site is an attempt to tie together many and various resources relating to Internet Service Providing.

As well as information and links, this site provides interactive areas, both public areas and areas protected by authorisation devices. We have also begun a collection of Frequently Asked Questions with answers, to help answer common questions.

This site is physically located on the Graphic Omniscient Device server in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Detailed Site Traffic Statistics for this server and Site News for all servers at this location are available online. We even have a connectivity monitor on the web and a catalogue of all the images stored on this site.

This site was literally thrown up overnight at a cost of only CDN$250! Many thanks to Digitalis Data Services for their remarkable Knotwork Site offering, which provides a complete Online Site solution. Thanks to Knotwork Site technology we have not only a web site with restricted access areas, but also a mailing list, a chat cafe, email accounts for our members, a CU-SeeMe reflector and the ability to deploy multi-user interactive environments.

Particularly exciting is the fact that this site is powered by Linux, and thus everything that it does, YOU TOO can do at home if you have a 386 or better x86 type computer! That's right, the entire site, from operating system and webserver down to the scripts for chat cafes and online forums, is all FREE SOFTWARE, available for download!

(Note, Linux also runs on several other platforms besides x86.)

Yes, we are Linux advocates. We feel that rather than allowing humanity's software endowment to be controlled by multinational corporations, the species will be better served by making sure its software stays freely available to all. It seems foolish to us to come out of school demanding that a prospective employer purchase some particular brand of software in order for us to work, when we COULD come out of school already owning the latest and greatest software in our fields. Each province's computer science department could focus development on one suite of applications, giving programmers-in-training direct experience working on the actual applications that their peers will be using in the workplace. The potential is just too great to be ignored.

This is a Peace Torch Bearers Knotwork site.
