Shell account

[roy]

It appears that my free shell account that I had with a local ISP is gone

Is there anyone offering free shell accounts? Only need it for some
light network monitoring

These guys still have a web page. I have no experience with them.

If you are willing to spend $100 per year, panix is the way to go.
Reliable service, competent administrators, long history of same.

I have had an SDF account for almost 20 years. Highly recommended.

The basic account is free, but doesn't allow for mail forwarding with
~/.forward, so the $36 one-time fee for ARPA status is worthwhile.

I tried SDF but it didn't allow me to do what I needed. I wanted to run
some network monitoring scripts but the commands weren't available.

I don't recommend any particular service provider, but there are lists
of "free shell accounts" available. Might be something among those:
