This is a collection of "services" available on CGHMN. It's intended as a bootstrapping point until we get something to help with discovery. Feel free to add your own services!

== Chat ==

=== AIM ===
CGHMN connects to Chivanet's AIM service (running RetroAimServer). To use it, you need to sign up via http://chivanet.org/aim/. Once you have a screenname, you can connect from within the network with a [[AIM Clients|client]].

== Email ==
You can run your own mail server on a .retro domain. If you would prefer not to (or want a backup), there are some open mail services (separate from general "hosting").

=== CGHMN Public Email Service (ala Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail) ===
Webmail: available - Supports Internet Explorer 3 (in theory) as a minimum. IE5 on Win3.11 tested and verified working.

HTTP: http://cghmn-mail.retro

IMAP:: cghmn-mail.retro

POP3: cghmn-mail.retro

(both incoming and outgoing servers use the same address for POP/IMAP/SMTP)

'''NOTE: SSL is ''enabled'' but is not widely tested. Your mileage may vary. If you experience issues, just use insecure/plaintext modes for simplicity'''
