I've sent out at least three requests to listserv@vm1.nodak.edu and not
gotten one response, for a week. Does anyone know what's can be wrong?
Usually I get a response overnight...

Does anyone know how to get simtel20 files from a listserv? I tried listserv@ndsuvm1.bitnet but the server said "Use a closer" one. Any help will be appreciated. Out Of Touch BBS - 716-825-4268 from 8pm-8am! FIDO 1:260/170... Online games!

Because your host is on the Internet you should be using FTP to get files from SIMTEL20. It places a lot less load on the network and the mail system. If you must use LISTSERV from an Internet host, do NOT send your requests to the BITNET address. Use this address instead: LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU The folks at the BITNET<->Internet gateways will thank you because your email and the files you request will not go through their host.

I have used the following script in order to download the files from Simtel20. It utilizes elm's fastmail command. Oh, and I didn't write it, and I cannot remember who did.
