BERNARDO@TMASL.EXXON.COM (MARCELINO BERNARDO) (06/29/89)
I've received a number of replies to my recent posting about servers which are accesible from Bitnet. Most of the replies are from beginning users like me and all ask the basic questions: What is the exact address? How do you access them? This short list is for the benefit of all new BITNET subscribers, and and those people I could not reach from my site. Atari ST Archive servers accesible through BITNET: 1. archive-server@ssyc.ucsc.edu Send a mail to this address with the word HELP. (This site may be going away soon.) 2. atari@terminator.cc.umich.edu Send a mail to this address with the word HELP. 3. listserv@canada01 Access as a regular bitnet listserver. The list is called PROG-A16. Send a mail with INDEX PROG-A16 in the body to the listserv@canada01. I subscribed to this list 2 months ago. But, I don't know what that means for this site: I have not received anything from this server other than files which I requested. 4. uh-info@uhupvm1 This site is only accessible through MESSAGE commands. Here is a portion of the index file that tells how to get help. * For HELP, from CMS enter: * * TELL UH-INFO AT UHUPVM1 ATARINET HELP * * from a VAX using JNET 2.0 or less, enter: * * SEND/REMOTE UHUPVM1 UH-INFO "ATARINET HELP" * * from a VAX using JNET 3.0 or more, enter: * * SEND UH-INFO@UHUPVM1 "ATARINET HELP" * *=================================================* This index was updated on Monday, 10/31/88 Note that there has not been any new files added to this server since 10/31/88. The last time I downloaded from this site was about a month ago. It is uncertain how long this server will exist. I hope this helps other new netters out there. If you have any additions, please post them so that the rest of us may benefit. Regards, Marcelino Bernardo bernardo@erevax.bitnet (please ignore the address above) (someday, I hope they fix this.)
