This is in response to David Goodenough's complaint that the SIMTEL20 archives are not accessable from UUCP sites. David, the problem is that you are using the WRONG address for the server. If you are not on BITNET do NOT use the NDSUVM1 address. LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU is the correct address for uucp, CSNet, and Internet users who cannot FTP. It's reachable from ANY uucp site that is also on the Internet. Examples: xait!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv ames!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv ucbvax!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv rutgers!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv harvard!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv gatech!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv att!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv If you are not sure of the correct path to use, send email to me and I'll tell you what your best path is. If no one tells us there is a problem how are we supposed to know? In this case, you had the wrong information. --Keith
