GNU Emacs v18.47 is waiting for you. It's about 3.6 megabytes, so your transfer times will be around 5 hours for a 2400 bps modem, or 10 hours for a 1200 bps modem. Here's the Instructions file: -------------------------------------------------- HQDA-AI is the Army Artificial Intelligence Center at Headquarters, Department of the Army. Physically, we're at the Pentagon. We run a Sun-3/160, Sun OS 3.2 (4.2BSD). We have only one dialup port, so I must place some restrictions on network access. Within the need to support production work, we take anonymous UUCP connections. What you need: 1. A 2400- or 1200-baud autodial modem. 2. A UUCP that can use the modem. 3. Willingness to call Washington, DC. Note that PC-Pursuit serves the 202 area code. If you have access to that service, you can dial us through it. Here's the software details Phone: 202-694-6911 Login Name: Uanon Password: none, no password prompt Hours: Weekdays 10PM to 7AM, all day weekends. Logins outside that time will be refused. Sample L.sys line: hqda-ai Any ACU 2400 202-694-6911 login:--login: Uanon When you reach our modem, be aware that the computer will answer at 2400, regardless of the modem speed. If you're operating at 1200, send a carriage return. That will toggle my computer to 1200. Another CR will toggle back to 2400. We have a variety of software packages available, so you should first fetch the file "~Uanon/Catalog". This will list what's available, and how to get it. Some people have reported file name difficulties with different versions of UUCP, particularly those supplied with System V. Keep trying. To report problems, send mail to "postmaster".
