Has anyone yet tried using UUPC under DOS to dial in to a Coherent
system as a subhost to pick up / drop off mail?

Subject: FTP for those who can't
I've noticed several entries in the last few days from people who don't have
ftp access to piggy. I don't either, but I can get to it via email from the
ftp server at princeton.
Just email the server an ftp script, and it will do the transfer, and email
you the result. It may take several day, but it really does work!!
For info, send email to:
bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu
with the single word
HELP
as the body of the letter. You will be sent instructions on how to do it.
Hope this helps...

Rick,
I finally got around to playing with Comb again....it is only on the
console that it works. When I tried on the console everything works
fine...except that I have trouble reading short messages...seems that
when I press ENTER it takes it in twice so short messages scroll off
the screen. Anyhow...is there any way of making it work remotely? That
is the bulk of my usage for Coherent (95%).
Let me know...

I messed up the mail; it bounced. Hence, I am forwarding this. You may
want to post this to the digest.

I seemed to reply too soon. It seems a mail server exists:

For all you unlucky people without ftp access, there is a way to get
files from piggy (or any machine) send to you via uuencoded mail.
Do the following:
send a mail message to bitftp@pucc.bitnet with the following body
FTP piggy.ucsb.edu UUENCODE (or use 128.111.72.50 for host)
USER anonymous
..more ftp commands
..for example:
CD pub
CD coherent
bin ( >>>> very important for binary (.Z etc) files)
get ls-lR.Z (a listing)
QUIT (always end with quit)
The reply will be send to you via mail message; MAKE SURE YOUR FROM:
LINE IS CORRECT AND COMPLETE!!
You can give other ftp commands as dir and help.
This ftp server was established for bitnet users, but I don't see why
other non-ftp users can't use it. I tried it and you don't have to be
on BITNET to use it.
I have nothing to do with this server, I just found out how to use it
and pass that information through to you; please don't send me tons of
mail.
