The bitnet message interface to bitftp@pucc is still responding to messages such as "help" and "how are you?" and giving the "usual" results. /Pete -- Peter M.

Until the servers can be educated about high-cost links and local policies of the sites their sendings traverse, both should be severely curtailed if not eliminated. One site lost their MX connection from UIUC because of archive server traffic. /pbp -- Paul Pomes, Computing Services Office University of Illinois - Urbana

For all of the times I have sent a "help" message to bitftp, I have got a big nothing in reply.
