On other similar systems, the procedures may be slightly different (e.g. "mixed" -- all representing "case mixed" as on IBM's "xedit" system). In any event, similar procedures probably exist for other similar systems. Thus the command line bitmail mccarty at UTOREPAS (case m will produce exactly that address (except @ replaces "at"). Yes, our software requires us to type " at " not "@". Bob Kraft (U. Penn) (2) --------------------------------------------------------------16---- Date: Wed, 31 Jan 90 18:11:58 CST From: Amanda C. Lee <ALEE@MSSTATE> Subject: telecommunications in Germany Thanks to everyone for the replies to my query about telecommunications in Germany. I've passed on what information I gathered to my friend in Germany -- we'll see if he can do anything with it on his end. Again, thanks to all!

The California MELVYL system is addressed at TELNET 31.1.0.11. The number I gave (35.1.1.6) gets you to Michigan. Apologies.

It would be nice if there was a list of online library catalogues and other bibliographic databases accessable through telnet. I have not found one in the Humanist's files. Does anyone know if such a list exists? It would particularly helpful if one could discover not only the addresses but at least a bare minimum of instructions for getting on each list i.e. I tried the Michigan database and got logged on but couldn't get the terminal-type set up to produce more than gibberish on my screen.
