Omnifest

Omnifest is the Community Network for Milwaukee, the City of Festivals. We opened to the public in September 1994 and are accepting applications for accounts now. We have community information and discussion areas as well as Internet access. Users need a personal computer and modem or they can use public terminals at area libraries. We use CIX bulletin board software which is easy to use and works with almost any kind of computer.

To take a test drive on Omnifest Community Network, dial up (414) 229-6664 with your modem or telnet to omnifest.uwm.edu and login as visitor. Click here to connect to Omnifest if you have a telnet program installed on your system.

To get an Omnifest account, you can leave your name and mailing address in the second pick of the visitor's menu and one of our staff will send you a printed application and some information about Omnifest.

Omnifest is an outreach program at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in the Center for Community Computing. Neil Trilling is the director.


We have an Omnifest Web page that is accessible to Omnifest members through Lynx or to others with graphics Web browsers.

Visit other Free-Nets and Community Networks if you have telnet accessible from your system. The ones listed below also use CIX software and the login name for guests is "visitor".


There Goes the Neighborhood Neil Trilling's essay aired on NPR May 3, 1995.
