A Look at the Telecom Archives [TELECOM Moderator]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Fri, 7 Sep 90 01:30:00 CDT
From: TELECOM Moderator <telecom@eecs.nwu.edu>
Subject: A Look at the Telecom Archives
This special issue of TELECOM Digest is devoted to a look at the
Telecom Archives -- a repository of almost everything which has
appeared in this Digest over the past nine years, along with many
articles and files which have never appeared in the Digest because of
their size.
Listed below are the directory listings for the main components of the
Archives. We have the general section, a section on telecom security
issues, and a section listing Canadian area codes and their associated
prefixes.
In addition, a sub-directory (not included here) details information
about Minitel. Another sub-directory contains some very old issues of
TELECOM Digest (dating to the early and middle 1980's) which were
compressed by Jon Solomon at Boston University but which somehow were
contaminated and cannot be uncompressed. What could be saved from them
has been saved, and appear in the main files.
How to use the Telecom Archives:
If you have ftp at your site, then you can access the archives, which
are stored at MIT in Boston with regular ftp commands, i.e. --
ftp lcs.mit.edu
login anonymous, and give your username@site.domain as password
cd telecom-archives
Then, proceed as usual.
This will only work for folks with an account on the Internet. If your
account is via Bitnet, UUCP, MCI Mail, ATT Mail, Fido, Compuserve, or
other networks gatewayed to the Internet, then you must use the
Archives Mail Server. This procedure is --
FIRST -- Send a letter to: bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (all but Bitnet)
bitftp@princeton.bitnet (Bitnet users)
Your letter should consist of the single word HELP, in upper case, on
the first line at the far left margin. The subject does not matter.
You will receive by return mail a help file for how to use the
Archives Mail Server, with contact names at Princeton if you run into
trouble.
SECOND -- When you have studied this document, you can then use the
facility to obtain the files you see in the indexes shown below. Since
the archives changes daily (with each issue of the Digest going into
the 'telecom-recent' file there), it is recommended you get an updated
version of the 'index.to.archives' file if you don't already have one.
Basically, you send 'letters' to the address above, and your letters
will consist of ftp commands and appropriate arguments for each. Here
is an example:
Write to: bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (or bitftp@princeton.bitnet)
The subject does not matter. Issue the ftp commands at the left
margin, then a space, and the arguments:
FTP lcs.mit.edu
USER anonymous name@site
CD telecom-archives
ASCII
GET index.to.archives (or, the name of the desired file)
GET the.next.file.you.want
BYE
Somewhere between a few hours and a couple days later, you will
receive the requested files sent to you as a letter. Large files will
be broken into several smaller parts. You will also get a couple of
letters from the daemon running this program showing you how your
commands were interpreted in the event of an error.
The Telecom Archives are maintained at MIT through the generous
assistance of Mike Patton, a sysadmin there. Most of the organizing
and editing of the files was done by myself in recent years, and by
Jon Solomon in years past. I hope you enjoy using them ... and
remember, *exact* file names are important. Enter all punctuation and
words just as you see them in the indexes.
FOR UUCP and FIDO readers using the Mail Server: It is *strongly*
recommended that before you request any volumes of back issues that
you communicate with your sysadmin ** and get that person's permission
to bring in files of that size! ** Note how <large> they are below,
and make certain your site has arrangements with whoever delivers mail
to handle such monsters! For the smaller files, this is not so
important. Use discretion in what you pull, and how often, etc.
Otherwise, enjoy!

Be _sure_ to get a copy of 'lauren.song' from the main file. It was
