-=/[ MindVox - System Design / Credits ]/=-
The MindVox project has been made possible by a wide confluence of talents
all focused on the single goal of creating one of the most unique and in-
teresting nexus points within Cyberspace.
The continual evolution of the environment made possible by MindVox is the
foremost goal of the Phantom Access Group, and all design work, past,
present and future, is geared towards the realization of this objective.
The software that makes all of this possible is in a constant state of
change as enhancements are made and problems eradicated. If there is any-
thing you would like to see that does not exist at present, or you find any
feature confusing or difficult to use, then please let us know so that we
can continue to make improvements.
More than anything MindVox is an ongoing experiment in human potentials,
that strives to push the limits of online possibility and remain a force on
the cutting edge of innovation in the electronic universe that is beginning
to awaken and expand as a new level of reality unfolds...
...it is also really neato, and 9 out of 10 people agree that it's a lot
better than watching TV. Although it has not yet replaced sex, we feel safe
in our assertion that MindVox is NEWER, FLASHIER and MORE SATISFYING than
Gummy Bears, and longer lasting than most hair styling products.

Thomas E. Dell .......................................... [dell@phantom.com]
Designed and coded the central framework that MindVox is based upon.
Amongst his various endeavors Tom sells an exceptional series of BBS pack-
ages that work with various flavors of MSDOS and Unix. Tom can be contacted
at either one of the following electronic addresses, or the P.O. Box for
Darkside, his organization.

Bruce Fancher .......................................... [bruce@phantom.com]
Coordinated the VOICES software development effort and prevented things from
stalling out or reaching dead ends, allowing MindVox to go live pretty close
to the original schedule. Bruce designed and implemented MindVox's User
Interface as well as most of the modifications and extensions to the
original communications software. In addition, he has redesigned and coded
the internal framework of the VOICES software to operate on a client-server
paradigm. Currently Bruce is head of the software development team.
Scott Yelich ........................................... [scott@phantom.com]
Scott is head of security at Phantom Access Technologies, and responsible
for overall network administration for the mindvox and phantom domains.
Although the ebb and flow of the perpetual SunOS security melodrama accounts
for a substantial portion of his attention span; Scott also works on the
design and implementation of X-based, network access tools along the lines
of Mosaic, WWW and OmniWeb.
James Waldrop .......................................... [sulam@phantom.com]
James is the chief designer and head of organization for the CyberWorld
II/Sprawl project at MindVox. He is one of the world's foremost experts at
MUD design and has been an instrumental factor in the development and evolu-
tion of the LP MUD code. As one of the original founders of TMI, he has
played a major role in bringing to life some of the most richly-detailed and
realistic multi-player simulations to ever exist in Cyberspace.
Duncan Howard ......................................... [duncan@phantom.com]
Heads the End of The Line experimental LP-Mud system, which has been online
for the better part of 5 years as these words are written. He has been in-
volved with working on Multi-User-Dimensions for many years, including
design work on the first MUD to ever exist (Richard Bartle's MUD I, a modi-
fied version of this program can be seen still running on Compu$erve as
British Legends). Duncan is putting together the research and development
division of Phantom Access as it pertains to online multi-user virtual real-
ities and role playing games.
David Schenfeld ......................................... [dave@phantom.com]
Set up and fine-tuned many of the underlying programs and shellscripts that
make the system function as a congruous whole. He is also responsible for
designing and coding many of the applications that are present under the
VOICES layer, or reside within the externals that Vox launches when you
select them.

RADAR but doesn't FLY of anything. Do not be alarmed.
