-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hungarian electronic resources FAQ 3. Interactive services 3.1 What's available on the World Wide Web The following is the chapter recently removed from the main body of the hungarian-faq. This is not yet completely re-edited for stand-alone format, nor completing a collection of all important links has been attempted. For more comprehensive WWW directories see, for example: , or . This version 0.30 is a maintenance release: quick fixes have been made (as necessitated by changes in both the HIX sites and my own accounts). The editing is by no means final (nor complete or likely error-free ;-() - please do not keep a copy for permanent reference; rather, check the archives shown for updated versions! Also note that for the time being my PGP signature is missing (but will be back in the near future). - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 3. INTERACTIVE SERVICES If you are using Hungarian interactive services from abroad (or vice versa): please note that interactive Internet connections like WWW may be very slow, even timing out during peak hours - try times of lower network load when the response time is usually reasonable. Please note, in particular, that many of hix.com's as well as hungary.com's links are being redirected in and out of Hungary! - ------------------------------ Subject: 3.1 What's available on the World Wide Web This document you are reading now is hosted at , and its directory has a few other documents and several links to other sites of interest. The Hungarian Home Page is at with links to the registered Hungarian www servers, including - the Prime Minister's Office: (overseas users please notice that the use of the mirror is requested to cut down transatlantic traffic!) - a weather forecast page (this is updated daily, and includes weather forecasts, meteorological maps, and METEOSAT satellite images; this page is in Hungarian) - home pages of Hungarian cities (currently Budapest, Debrecen, Miskolc, Pecs, Szeged), and of educational and other institutions - a comprehensive list of Hungarian telnet services (e.g. library databases), gopher and ftp sites (3.2). The content of almost all the Hungarian FTP sites is indexed and can be searched. The Hungary Online Directory (HUDIR) is at featuring a hierarchical database of Hungarian online content worldwide. Currently it has links in excess of 2500. HIX has a WWW server in the USA: the URL is , as well as one in Hungary . As of 97-03-27, the alias www.hix.com resolves to the latter - which means that overseas users are suffering long network delays. This could be avoided if people outside Hungary specify us.hix.com instead of the generic www.hix.com address (which is what I refer to in much of the FAQ)! To check out fresh content, see , which gives you a comprehensive table of content for new material arrived in the last 24 hours (which is typically in the order of 100-150 pages).
