Hi gang...
A few questions:
1) We have an upcoming need to supply some sort of bulletin board/messaging
system/upload-download program to a member of our faculty for a GIS project
that is extending beyond the bounds of the University. We have loose
demands, but he has said that something like FIDO's would be 'ideal'.
The only b-board we currently have is (I believe) Vassar's, which I
personally don't much care for (sorry!) and I'm not sure anyone else does --
it's not getting much use. It is *not* really a satisfactory solution, but
I suppose could be, if used in conjunction with other utilities (Kermit,
Mail(?), etc) to provide the full functionality required (wow... did I
really say that?).
We will be aiming to allow bitnet and direct dial-up access to allow
exchange of information and ideas relating to this project.
2) A list server will probably be eventually needed as well... is there
one in the public domain for VMS? I suppose I should really contact
INFO@BITNIC on this, or are they still persona non grata?
Thanks in advance...
Denis W. Haskin
