According to a list of Bitnet servers, there is a server called CSNEWS@MAINE that carries some public domain software for IBM-PC's. I have not been able to get anything from it. Anyone in the netland tried it, or know anything about it? I was sending both VMS MAIL and Bitnet SEND/FILE messages to CSNEWS@MAINE and got no response or what so ever. Much thanks in advance for any info I receive. ...

It is a system meant to allow U of Maine students and others at remote sites to gain access to files and services of general interest. Among the services were the maintainence of a BITNAUT's list, a VM newsletter ( which was generally OK), etc. The last time I tried CSNEWS was a few months ago, so I don't know what the current status is. To get more information you may try : RSCS SMSG MSG MAINE CSNEWS HELP This is on BITNET of course on a VM machine. You can also use the SEND command on VAX's.

This command should be SMSG <rscsmachine> MSG MAINE CSNEWS HELP where <rscsmachine> should be replaced with the name of your RSCS machine, which is probably, but not necessarily, RSCS; to find out, say IDENTIFY which will print <your username> AT <your BITNET nodename> VIA <your rscsmachine> -- David Moews moews@husc4.harvard.edu ...!harvard!husc4!moews

For those interested, try (under VMS): $send csnews@maine "HELP" for starters. (This is, of course, assuming your VMS is on Bitnet!) ... Peter/
