I have been trying to get the Purdue archive-server to respond to a help
request as per the comp.sys.next FAQ file. I have already sussed that the
address in that document is incorrect--it instructs me to send a message
containing the subject line "help" to "archive-server@cc.purdue". That
address gets my message returned to me, but "archive-server@cc.purdue.edu"
results in a bit more of a satisfactory conclusion, but only a bit. I get a
message back telling me that there is a "Remote Protocol Error". I am a
UNIX newcomer and my grasp on how the net works is tenuous at best, so a
"remote protocol error" means about as much to me as theoretical
accounting.
Can someone please enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?
cheers
adam
