Jeff, I have forwarded your message to INFO@VM1.NODAK.EDU which is the address to use for questions about the server at that host. The PD1:, PD2:, and PD3: devices are physical disk drive names. LISTSERV accesses them all as PD: which is a logical device name for all three drives. The most likely problem is misspelling the subdirectory name. For example, when we split the MSDOS collection because of storage limitations we created PD2:<MSDOS2> as a top level directory. The Telix modem program and related files are in directory PD2:<MSDOS2.TELIX> which may be referred to by its logical name PD:<MSDOS2.TELIX>. --Keith
