Services people are running

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.

IRC

Available on irc.cghmn.retro (no TLS), and bridged onto the regular internet and Discord.

MSN Messenger

TODO (maybe ask to federate with NINA ala ChivaNet?) - CursedSilicon

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

How to sign up: message cursedsilicon on IRC/Discord.
