Since I'm new to all the 'NET' bussiness, can someone tell me more about or how to contact either Usenet or Bitnet? Thanks in advance, John Withers /* Insert usual disclaimers here */

>Since I'm new to all the 'NET' bussiness, can someone tell >me more about or how to contact either Usenet or Bitnet? Would you believe 'Usenet' is NOT a NET?! Usenet is a list distribution service that runs on UUCP which is sort of a net (using an obsolescent definition of a net :-). UUCP really is a communications protocol, but systems which agree to exchange mail with one another using that protocol are generally referred to as UUCP. Pro-Carolina IS a UUCP site (actually, it uses a protocol which can exchange mail with a host running Unix, but it IS listed in the UUCP map). Your sysop, Don Elton, is the most authoritative source on EXACTLY how you can send mail to BITNET (he sends me mail from time to time - empirical verification :-); I believe it's something like: crash!nosc!rutgers!nodename.bitnet!username Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)

Yeah, easiest way to send something to bitnet from a proline is to use the
address: user@node.bitnet where 'node' is the name of the bitnet node. i.e.
the University of South Carolina here in Columbia would be UNIVSCVM.bitnet if
I remember correctly.

>From within a ProLine site, getting out to BITNET is even easier than what you
have listed, Murphy. Instead of
crash!nosc!rutgers!nodename.bitnet!username
this will work just as well in most cases:
username@nodename.BITNET
For example:
SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET

Someone at one of the pro-lines expressed some frustration about constructing a path to BITNET a few months ago. Perhaps the problem was transient (I've noted that recently more an more pro-lines are routing mail to the Internet via Massachusettes rather than Southern California; something could have gone temporarily awry during the changeover). Now if BITNET's mailers can get fixed so they can find there way back without help :-) Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)

Looking for recommendations concerning a reasonably priced (make that CHEAP; $60 or less) 80 column card for an APPLE ][+.... One that possibly -you- have used in the past and have been satisfied with. I've noticed at least three in various ads that meet my price range but have no way of knowing just how good of a job they might do. All replies appreciated... and speed <have to have one by November 24th> is of the essence...
