I have most of the Spacelink files copied into the SPACE archive on
ames.arc.nasa.gov.  They are arranged by menu number, so you get files
with names like 6.10.2.3.1.  One of these days (I keep promising), I'll
make a real index for the files...

It's NASA Spacelink, at MSFC.  The number is (205) 895-0028.  Format
is 8 data bits, no parity, at 300/1200/2400 baud.  (I think that
they are working on a 4800/9600 service).

It contains the press releases that Peter Yee forwards to Usenet
(btw, both Peter and Spacelink get this stuff from a NASA internal
email system) plus some others.  It also has things like background
info on Shuttle missions, both past and future.  (Last time I looked,
there was *tons* of stuff on the ASTRO-1 mission.)  There is also
a lot of classroom material for teachers, and a way to exchange
email with some poor soul in the PAO office who has to answer
all of it. :-)  I think it's a pretty nice system, especially
for those who don't have access to Usenet.

Disclaimer: I don't work on Spacelink, but I know some good people who do.
