Welcome to APANA Sydney


Welcome to Treefern, a machine which is part of the Core Matrix Foundation. Treefern is connected to the Internet via my local network (known as Orbnet), which is itself part of the Sydney region of the Australian Public Access Network Association.

This machine is a Sparcstation 10 from Sun Microsystems which is running NetBSD on a 75 MHz Supersparc-II CPU module supported by 128 MB of RAM, and 18 GB of rotational data storage.


support Clean Up Australia Day GreenSpore - Growing the Unusual, the Sensual, the Critical I am proud to support Clean Up Australia Day. Please become a supporter and take part on the day to help make Australia a cleaner, more environmentally-sustainable place for all Australians.

Something out of the ordinary that's hosted here is GreenSpore - an independent community-based organisation that challenges the authority of government and corporate entities to impose controls and restrictions on the freedoms of online content providers and online content users to see, feel and explore whatever they want without interference from the Thought Police.

Point of No Return

This is the anonymous entry point for my FTP archives. Be warned that some of the content of the FTP archives is not suitable for people who are likely to be offended by material which is sexual in nature, but that is in no way referring to the entire site contents. Please explore at your own leisure...

Important Note!!! : Please read the Treefern Conditions of Use so you are aware of the access restrictions and requirements which I have decided upon to ensure fair operation of this server while not causing gross flooding of my main PPP link.

Remember than you can always access the archives using regular FTP clients as well - you don't have to use a web browser, although it can make navigation through the archives somewhat easier if you're not used to command-line-based applications.
