Over the last few months, many of you have sent mail with various corrections, and now that things have slowed down a bit, I figured it was time to put out an errata sheet.
Peacenet has been around since 1985, providing international e-mail and conferencing and other networking services to predominantly nonprofits and educational institutions, with a focus on environmental, social justice, human rights, and economic justice.

KA9Q is a very powerful stand-alone TCP/IP implementation that supports routing and filtering as well as SLIP/CSLIP and PPP. For routing, the best version to use is the Textwin version available from ftp.demon.co.uk. For Gopher, HTTP, and CSO servers, try the CWRU version, available from ftp.biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu, get /pub/nos/nos11c.exe, nos11c.txt, nos192.txt
. pp. 275
There is also a (highly recommended) HTTP server for Windows NT, available via ftp emwac.ed.ac.uk, cd /pub/https. You can find Gopher and WAIS servers in this same archive.
pp. 298 - 300
The KA9Q setup files at the end of this file all work with the Large Textwin version of KA9Q, available from ftp.demon.co.uk. In particular, this version supports an extended dialing lanaguage, including support for dial on demand. This is the recommended version for routing with KA9Q, since it supports acting as a Domain Name Server, and packet filtering, in addition to dial on demand, SLIP, CSLIP, and PPP.

Free Software Foundation
The Free Software Foundation is a loosely associated group of people led by Richard Stallman who believe that access to excellent software should be free and are willing to contribute to that goal by writing it. They put out a series of tools under the GNU label (which stands for GNU is Not UNIX), including GNU Emacs, GNU C, GNU UUCP, and GNU AWK (GAWK), all distributed under a CopyLeft agreement.
