Adis Daemon and Friends
On the internet host "adi.mathematik.uni-ulm.de", port number 4711,
you will find an online-chat server, Adis kleiner Daemon. A simple
telnet line
is all you need to connect to it, although some means to separate input
and output should add a lot for your comfort.
Initially, this service was meant only as a small demonstration of our
Oberon-System, but some of us soon got so fond
of it (with all its virtues and faults) that it has been in use for our
daily conversation for years.
So we (humans as the case may be) talk to each other. But not
everybody talking on this channel is a human -- as you will probably
find out. This Web-page tells you more about the daemons (aka bots)
or, in other words, computer programs who are populating our virtual
conference.

Description
Martins Bot is nearly as old as Adis Daemon. Its first purpose
was to keep track of who is logged on, since the server itself
never bothered to tell anybody. But other features have been
added that people who can stand its, um, somewhat peculiar
personality may find useful.
A list of fairly accurate explanations of
its commands has been compiled by micha.
Commands
None.
Description
Adis Log-Daemon stays always passive. It logs everything that is said

Description
Spiel-Bot was the first prototype of a daemon offering a multi-user game.
The game itself was not particularly breath-taking (a variant of Hi-Lo),
so this daemon is normally not run any more.
