Subject: Telnet on the Internet outside NA?
The February revision of Art St. George's very helpful list of
Internet-accessible library catalogues has led me to wonder whether
any of our fellow HUMANISTs outside of North America have experienced
remote real time access to one of our nodes? Do the various trans-
oceanic gateways permit Telnet-style sessions on North American hosts?
For example, could a scholar on sabbatical in Britain log on through
a computer like the Phoenix in Cambridge, connect to his account at his
home university, perform operations which would be debited against his
allocation there, and finally log off back to the Phoenix? Clearly
someone must pay for the link through the gateway. But who?
Are there obstacles not apparent to me? Is Telnet (a VAX utility, I
think) not widely used across the water? Are the Internet libraries
thus accessible only to North Americans?

Subject: Greek expert system ?
There is a chance that a brief project might be considered
to devise something of an expert system for the study of Greek.
One possible project which occurs to me is an automatic
syntax analyser. An expert system must be the kind of thing
which looks at evidence and makes decisions, not something
which feeds users with existing info or lets them browse.
I would be grateful for suggestions for this project which I
will pass on to the organisers. Please mail replies to me

Subject: Nota Bene and Hebrew?
I have a colleague who would like to know whether Nota Bene will
allow one to:
- use a Hebrew keyboard
- type in Hebrew, using right-to-left cursor movement
and word-wrap on the left
- print Hebrew characters
If the answer to at least one of these is NO, how about
recommendations for a Hebrew word processor for use in the U.S on
IBM PC/AT-type machines??
Send responses either here or to Humanist; I'll summarize what
I get.
