JSOL@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU (Jon Solomon) (05/18/87)
Since I work for Boston University, it makes sense for me to have TELECOM distributed from there. I have been using XX because it was on the ARPANET (and we weren't), and because MIT was my starting point on the ARPANET (on my first machine, MIT-AI). We are now on the Internet (via CSNET-CYPRESS now, by a 56kbd connection to an IMP shortly), and I can start delivering TELECOM from BU. Temporarily I will leave the archives on XX since we don't have a reliable FTP connection yet. The addresses TELECOM@XX and TELECOM-REQUEST@XX are still valid and will forward to TELECOM@BUIT1.BU.EDU and TELECOM-REQUEST@BUIT1.BU.EDU, my new addresses for TELECOM distribution. When we get our ARPANET connection, I will set up anonymous FTP of TELECOM's archives from BUIT1.BU.EDU (host 192.12.185.40). I am going to start a new "volume" of TELECOM when I start sending from BU, since the TELECOM Archives are all in TOPS-20 MM format, and the new ones will be in UNIX mail format. I wish to thank MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science publicly for allowing me to use so much of XX's resources (about 3000 disk pages of archives, and a batch job that runs for hours delivering the digest). They have been most gracious with their resources. This is the last TELECOM that will come from XX.LCS.MIT.EDU. Tomorrow's will be delivered from BU. --jsollikliklwo
