[comp.os.cpm] dial-in to simtel

JSHIN@HAMPVMS.BITNET (Is PShirley getting married bare-footed?) (02/01/91)

Is there a dial-in number for SIMTEL or any BBS that has ALL Cimtel
files (Royal Oaks?)?

Reasons: BITFTP@PUCC has not been very good at logging on to Simtel
         I need to do some "exploring," making BITFTP impractical
         I need a file that is NOT accessible throlugh Trickle/ListServ

i.e., (hold your breath) I need a Macintosh (gasp!) program muy pronto
that can read an IBM-PC (gasp!) program. Truth is, I need to transfer
a paper I wrote on my QX-10 to the Mac's at work... and the only
computer that I have access to wthat has both 51/4 and 3-1/2 drives
is a PC... Or, I will have to wait till I am rich enough to buy
a fast modem (the document is quite long).  See, there is a good
reason for all this...

Thnx in Advns!!!

 P.S. I posted this message on INFO-IBMPC once, but nobody replied. I
can't subscribe to IBMPC because the digests are too long to be useful
on my 300-Baud'er. I bet they had quite a conversation about it over
there, too... too bad I missed it. Lucky me...

My thinking is that your best bet is still the modem route, slow as it
may seem.  Put your sender and sendee together and connect them with a 
null modem cable and xfr and whatever max speed the systems will accept.
