Perhaps the subject line should read enforcement of policy, since I'm not sure they ever said that they would support users who were not on BITNET/EARN/NETNORTH. At any rate, since Patrick has mentioned use of BITFTP for users who do not have FTP access, but mail-only access, I thought I should pass the following message along (I received this message back this afternoon from my latest BITFTP request): > Date: Thu, 16 May 1991 16:46:12 EDT > From: Princeton BITNET FTP Server <BITFTP4@pucc.princeton.edu> > Subject: BITFTP REPLY > 16:46:12 > FTP cs.widener.edu > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > * * BITFTP is no longer able to provide service to * * > * * nodes that are not directly on EARN or BITNET * * > * * or NetNorth.

Your node appears to be * * [text deleted] There exists a FTP Server called ftpmail via dec.com the address is: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com Send 'help' as the message body. No header is needed. It works, but is slow compared to bitftp via pucc.princeton Peace, Rod If you yell try : Rod Troch internet : troch@pilot.njin.net : troch@luau.kean.edu : troch@bart.kean.edu <--> NeXT Mail (Lip Service)
