I think that Bitnet only supports transfer of files or sending of short messages between IBM machines running VM and RSCS or other machines emulating them (VMS Vaxes running jnet and others). The corresponding facility to anonymous FTP is a mail server - which accepts mailed commands like `index' or `send' and mails replies back. I am not on Internet but have mail access to Internet and Bitnet -- so PLEASE are there any mail servers with comp.sources.amiga, comp.binaries.amiga or Fish Disks on ? Preferably in the Uk as we get billed for international mail even incoming (so please don't mail all Fish disks in uuencoded form :-) ) -- Ian W Moor UUCP: seismo!mcvax!ukc!icdoc!iwm ARPA: iwm@doc.ic.ac.uk JANET: iwm@uk.ac.ic.doc Department of Computing We don't need no documentation, Imperial College.
