For the brave of heart, you can get beta test versions of Phil Karn's KA9Q NOS software for the Amiga via anonymous FTP. It is on the host Sayshell.UMD.EDU, in the /pub directory. Look for files named something like "amiganos-900214.zoo". [Mild flame on: For those of you with brain dead machines that can't query the domain name system, the address of Sayshell.UMD.EDU is 128.8.2.88. It astonishes me that there are hosts on the Internet today that *still* can't use the domain name system. Flame off.) This is beta test software. There is no documentation except the source code. Please don't send me mail asking how to set it up or what the files are supposed to look like. I'm making the code available for people somewhat familiar with the NOS code to test is on an Amiga platform, and send me bug reports and bug fixes. Unless you really want to spend some time figuring it out, please wait until the official release version is available. I don't know when this will happen since the MSDOS version that serves as the porting base is still changing. The Amiga version of NOS supports pretty much all of the functions that the DOS version does; including SLIP support. The "release" version will also be available for anonymous FTP and also on a Fish disk. Oh, and please don't put "poster" in the followup: header line. That's for newsgroups, not cutsy stuff like that. Since this question has come up a few times before, I decided to post the response. louie WA3YMH

The message should be mailed to the submitter of the |! message via mail. It's legitimate. ...tad

It's a legitimate, defined keyword documented in the RFC on News messages. It simply means that if someone tries to followup to the article, the newsreader is supposed to automatically treat it as a "reply" command and use mail to the poster instead of posting the reply. Unfortunately, few (if any) newsreaders actually implement this, at present. Deven -- Deven T.

Is there a mailing list for people who are interested in this software. I would love to be able to "luck" on here -- granted I am not familiar with the code, but I would like to hear about problems as they come up and are fixed... >louie WA3YMH -- /* Kurt J.
