The Boston project is on-line now, but there is no web page support
there yet.
There is a gopher site at gopher.std.com, and there's an effort now
to either start a mailing list for local stc events/discussion or
a usenet group named ne.stc.
The Boston project exists through Software Tool and Die, an internet
access provider in Brookline, MA. They run world.std.com and give STC
members access at a reduced rate. Although I have access at work, I
use the world too so I have a central point from which people can reach
me.
Web page support is coming. World has a beta project up now to support
html. They allow text-based access through lynx, but you can't set up
a home page with it yet (unless you want to get in on the beta tests).
