[comp.sys.mac] Q. How to Download from Various Places

ebm@ibmarc.uucp (Eli Messinger) (06/03/89)

Using RedRyder 10.3, I'm wondering about the where, what and how of down-
loading.  There are several dial-up BBS's that I know how to download from
directly (using XMODEM), but I'm wondering about downloading from Usenet
and FTP archives.

Specifically, if I am using RedRyder to dialup a machine on which I can read
Usenet (with 'rn'), how do I go about downloading/unpacking/unbinhexing the
articles from comp.binaries.mac?

Secondly, if I can use FTP to access mac-archives (e.g., Sumex?), and get
these files to a Unix system which is dialable from the Mac (that is, the
same one which I read Usenet on), how do I go about dowloading/etc.?

Any suggestions (preferrably by email) would be greatly appreciated.
