Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN)

Back issues of CAF-news are now available via anonymous ftp
from eff.org (192.88.144.3). They are in directory academic/news.
The issues to date are cafv01n01, cafv01n02, cafv01n03, and cafv01n04.

Also, the Computer Undergound Digest's archives contains the policy
statements from many universities. I've copied them to the CAF archive
on eff.org. They are in directory academic/widener. I'm enclosing
the Index file.

The National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) is a department

the NCSA set down a new e-mail policy. The policy was cleared by the
University's legal counsel and the Graduate College. Faculty, students,
and researchers, however, were not consulted.

This note has three parts. The first is a critique of the policy. The
critique concludes that the policy is inconsistant with the
Consitution, Academic Freedom, and University policy. The second part
of this notes is the text of the policy. The third part is notes from
a conversation with an NCSA Administrator.

[On of April 23, 1991 (14 hours after this information was distributed),
the NCSA as decided to revise its policy.]

----from comp.windows.ms -- Frequently asked questions-----
4.  Is it possible to use a mail server instead of ftp?

    There are a number of sites that archive the Usenet sources newsgroups
    and make them available via an email query system.  You send a message
    to an automated server saying something like "send comp.sources.unix/fbm",
    and a few hours or days later you get the file in the mail.

>>  There are several sites that will perform general FTP retrievals for
    you in response to a similar mail query.  For information on using one
    of them, send a message like this to info-server@cs.net :

        request: info
        topic: help-ftp
        request: end

    (NOTE: this server is currently "down for repairs".  No estimate on when
    or if it will return.)

    And for info on another one, send this message to bitftp@pucc.bitnet :

        help

    Please be considerate, and don't over-use these services.  If people
    start using them to retrieve hundreds of megabytes of GIF files, they
    will probably disappear.
