[comp.sys.handhelds] Availability of HP's BBS...

b3300876@rick.cs.ubc.ca (george kai yee chow) (10/27/90)

I have a question wrt HP's BBS. I read a while back that it was
gonna be available via ftp. I noted down its name and address 
(hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com or 15.224.72.16) and have tried ftping out to
it on several occasion. However, I keep getting a `network is down'
error message. Have anyone else had any success?

George, tell the Sysop (Ken Creel) what you want to FTP and see if he'll
put it there for you.

I tried it last week on our open subnet machine, and it worked great.
Could be they had hpcvbbs down for maintenance, or maybe your netserver was
down.  Try it again; it should work.
