[comp.os.cpm] File Server -- failure

ewen@actrix.co.nz (Ewen McNeill) (10/23/90)

I have been trying to contact the CP/M File Server at pallio!rna.
The address I have been using is rna%pallio.uucp@xait.xerox.com. I
have tried a few times, and each time it has bounced.  Included
below is a copy of the bounce message that I recieved.  If someone
is able to improve on this address, or suggest where it went wrong I
would be very greatful.
 
The file that I am most interested in is Unzip, although I wouldn't
mind a copy of the index and help for future reference. Please reply by mail,
there is little use wasting bandwidth on this.

Apparently xait don't like % signs in addresses that arrive over the Internet.
Try ....!xait.xerox.com!pallio!rna

Unfortunately, this is quickly going to become somewhat academic, since in
about two weeks, pallio will be going off line. This is only a temporary
hiatus, since I'm moving from Boston to San Francisco. I'll get pallio
back on line as soon as I get set up, but it may be a while before the
server is on line, since I'll have to be sure I won't swamp my feed. I'll
post here once I'm connected again, and when the rna server is running.
