New and interesting things that are happening to the SIPB WWW server.

Other WWW (and non-WWW) servers on MITNet, including those added by Resnet, the project to network the MIT Undergraduate Residences.

Gateways to useful programs and links to useful services local and world-wide . Local gateways and services are zlocate, weather (it's flaky right now; we know), radio callsigns, cview, discuss, geographic nameserver, server stats (under new construction), MITSFS Pinkdex, cluster maps, finger, machine information, The Freshman Fishwrap (MIT only), and frequently asked OLC questions.

Over 2800 home pages of people around MIT, including students, staff and alumni as well as people with `less traditional' relationships to MIT. An outstanding collection of links all over the place. Try the alphabetically subdivided listing of homepages --- though please note it may not be as up to date.

Organizations, activities, and living groups at MIT. Academic subjects, departments, and research groups are now listed on the Academics and Research page on the official MIT Web server.

Interesting documents for learning about and getting around in the Web (and other places too).
