[comp.sys.amiga] Accessing Portal through Telnet

fmcphers@VTTCF.CC.VT.EDU (Frank McPherson) (01/07/91)

A few years ago, a friend of mine recommended to me the Portal system in      
California.  I've noticed several of you access Usenet through portal.        
I've also read the Portal Guidebook, in which vague references are made to    
how well connected the portal system is.  My question: Is it possible for me  
to use Telnet from my local Unix system to access Portal?  I can easily       
afford the Portal connect charges: it's the long-distance bills that I can't  
handle.                                                                       
                                                                              
Any information would be appreciated.  Please respond via email.  If there    
are useful responces, I'll post a summary to the Net in a week or so.  Thanks!
