If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 via Internet FTP or through one
of the BITNET/EARN file servers, most SIMTEL20 MSDOS files, including
the PC-Blue collection, are available for downloading on the Detroit
Download Central network at 313-885-3956.  DDC is a networked system
with multiple lines that support 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 bps (HST).
DDC is a subscription system with an average hourly cost of 17 cents.
It is accessable on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink
outdial.  New files uploaded to SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC
within 24 hours.
