No, mail seems to go through quite well, and comp.sys.amiga comes through there alright. I guess the two questions are: Do you have a reliable anonymous FTP address that you use (we're fairly close, Alberta/Sask, so what works for you just might work for you)? Could you tell me what it is? Second, what is the address for posting directly to comp.sys.amiga, is it something like Comp.Sys.Amiga@Berkley.EDU ? I lost it a while ago and can't remember what it is.

Attention all InterNet users; Sour Grapes. ** FLAME ON ** I'm a ProLine SysOp which can interface with UNIX computers and have asked our local University, (USF) University of South Florida, to allow me to pull some feeds from them. At first I was told that I could, then they put in a new computer, and a change of staff. With that I was told in a harsh way, NO!. Why? I was told its a conflict of interest, What? How? These schools of so called higher learning think that a lowly Apple IIGS can't possibly use any feeds? or receive them from their computer? I only wanted Apple II, Macintosh and a few UNIX feeds. (BTW: My system is totally free, except for donations). I was told that other systems get the feeds because they donate moneys and equipment to this university, so we give them access to the feeds. I was told there so called super computer can't be bothered with feeds to a small system for free. I thought the internet was free. I also know that it cost them money to use there computer and that they give the feeds to other systems, so what is the difference? So what if other small local systems would like to recieve the feeds too. A couple of small system could like a IBM, Amaga etc, sysops could use the local feeds too. Just one system per computer type or say 5 local systems could call and distribute them to the other sites that want them locally. So as a show of support for my cause, call USF TECH support, voice 813/974 -3307 or fax 813/974-3149 or thu this group, E-mail malek@sol.usf.edu . ** FLAME OFF ** Bitter; Any Comments?

I >was told there so called super computer can't be bothered with feeds to >a small system for free. I thought the internet was free. Internet is not free. It costs thousands of dollars per year. Less for academic institutions than commercial organizations, but still thousands (I believe the last figure was >$50,000 per year for a commercial org.). I believe you are confusing Internet (which is a NSF funded high-speed digital network) with usenet (a loose, informal network of computers, where each node feeds other nodes on an informal basis, often by phone lines). Because of the convenience, Internet now carries much of the usenet traffic. But even in the case of local phone feeds, the connection costs time, money, and resources. Providing a news feed at 2400 baud requires an account, account maintenance, and ties up a phone line for quite some time. It doesn't take many such feeds to completely monopolize a dial-up line. The university has to pay the phone company for these lines, and while they are tied up giving feeds they can't be used for legitimate business. There is a growing trend to only provide feeds to sites that can support 9600 or 19.2K modems. There is no requirement for a site to provide arbitrary feeds. The protocol is to contact sites downstream from them until you can find one that can support another feed. >So as a show of support for my cause, call USF TECH support, ..........

Assuming, of course, that you want to send something from Internet to fidonet. Just send to <person>@f<point-number>.n<node-number>.z<zone-number>.fido.org, where <person> is the full name of the intended reciever (as he/she/it would log onto the intended BBS - yours is john.hall). The rest is from the familiar <zone-number>:<node-number>/<point-number> code, so your Fido address is 3:680/805.

I just received information about this, but I have not tried it yet. There was a article in comp.mail.misc (it was number 1116, but I'm not sure whether this number is unique for all news-servers) which describes the connection between uucp and fidonet. It should also work well on internet. In fidonet the adress has 4 parts: Zone:Net/FidoNode.Point (for example 1:105/302.0). A mail to this Node can be send to l user@p0.f302.n105.z1.fidonet.org (note: this address is vice versa). If this does not work, you can add a routing command, for example user%p0.f302.n105.z1.fidonet.org@busker.fidonet.org , where busker.fidonet.org is the UFGATE for net 105.
