Hi, Alot of people talk of getting nifty stuff off simtel20. Well, I can't seem to connect with anything resembling simtel20 through my ftp. I have tried simtel20 & simtel20.army.mil, and both are unknown hosts. Am I missing something, or am I just barking up the wrong tree? Is there even an annonymous ftp to this site? thanks in advance, ted

Your system may still know it as simtel20.arpa. It certainly used to accept anonymous ftp's... although the Morris worm may scare a lot of people out of that behaviour. (Hmmm, what are the ramifications of an archive site deciding not to accept anonymous ftp anymore? :-() -- -- bob,mon (bobmon@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) -- "Aristotle was not Belgian..." - A Fish Called Wanda

Try simtel20.arpa, if that isn't in your hosts file. Just do a open 26.0.0.74 Get the file ARCHIVES-INFO, or some similar name and read it carefully. There are some strange things about ftp'ing from simtel20 because it is a 36-bit machine running TOPS-20. I'd had good luck finding stuff there. ********************************_|-|_******************************** John H.

SIMTEL20 is still on the DDN. We've gone through two name changes
recently because of the change to domains. The official host name is
now WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL, with aliases of SIMTEL20.ARPA and
SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. The network address is still 26.0.0.74.

(Hmmm, what are the ramifications of an >archive site deciding not to accept anonymous ftp anymore? :-() Simtel20 was indeed off line most of last week (and weekend) due to the worm (I assume). I am getting a lot of returned mail from places that still haven't reconnected. I have always used arpanet/bitnet to access simtel, I didn't know they had anonymous UUCP (dial up) access.
