I think I've only heard of the Alligator, made by the Union -- why        subm       > ines, anyway, wasn't the Civil War pretty much all a land-based war?              Mostly, yes, but there were some naval skirmishes, probably related to the       union blockade of southern ports. IIRC, the CSA sub was used against a       union ship blockading the port of Charleston, SC.              > Makes Sense -- only the successful ones would be remembered by history. . .              > "You made a toy.

The goal was to quietly       approach a ship, ram a harpoon-like rod with a bomb attached into the hull       under the water level so that when it detonates, the ship takes on water       and sinks.              IIRC, he completed the first and last step... he was either too close       during the last part of the second step (the detonation) or had some other       mishap before he made it back to shore.              Either way, it took on water and sank. I think it was named the Hundley,       after its creator.              > How do I telnet into yours? Special port?              You seemed to have found Moe's, on port 27. The system I am posting from       runs on the standard port at the address in the origin line below. Moe's       is the one with all the classic DOS doors, like LORD, Yankee Trader, etc.              On this system, they have either been ported to linux or are new doors       written specifically for linux machines.              Mike                      * SLMR 2.1a * On the other hand, you have different fingers.       --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/17 18 120/302 340 616       SEEN-BY: 123/10 131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/757 7715 154/10 30       SEEN-BY: 154/40 50 700 203/0 218/700 220/90 221/0 6 226/18 30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/201 229/110 111 112 113 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/267 280 281 384 412 416 712/848 770/1 2320/0 33       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 195 304 2452/250 3634/12       PATH: 2320/105 154/10 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
