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
| Hostname | Port (non-TLS) | TLS? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| irc.cghmn.retro | 6667 | no | Bridged onto the regular internet and Discord |
| irc.loganius.retro | 6667 | yes, at 6697 | Must register your nick with NickServ before you can start talking. You'll need working email for this. |

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