File: /pub/msdos/filedocs/mailserv.inf Last Revised: Oct. 21, 1993 If you do not have FTP access to the mirrors of the SimTel Software Repository, FTP may be performed through the mail by various ftp-mail servers. For Internet sites: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com For BITNET/EARN sites ONLY: BITFTP@PUCC Send mail with the word "help" in it for information on how to use them. SimTel files may also be ordered by mail from these servers: Location EARN/BITNET Internet -------------- ---------------- ---------------------------------- In U.S.A.: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU In U.S.A.: LISTSERV@RPITSVM LISTSERV@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU In Austria: TRICKLE@AWIWUW11 TRICKLE@AWIWUW11.WU-WIEN.AC.AT In Belgium: TRICKLE@BANUFS11 TRICKLE@CCS.UFSIA.AC.BE In Colombia: TRICKLE@UNALCOL TRICKLE@UNALCOL.UNAL.EDU.CO In France: TRICKLE@FRMOP11 TRICKLE@FRMOP11.CNUSC.FR In Germany: TRICKLE@DEARN TRICKLE@VM.GMD.DE In Israel: TRICKLE@TAUNIVM TRICKLE@VM.TAU.AC.IL In Italy: TRICKLE@IMIPOLI TRICKLE@IMIPOLI.CDC.POLIMI.IT In Netherlands: TRICKLE@HEARN TRICKLE@HEARN.NIC.SURFNET.NL In Poland: TRICKLE@PLEARN TRICKLE@PLEARN.EDU.PL In Sweden: TRICKLE@SEARN TRICKLE@SEARN.SUNET.SE In Turkey: TRICKLE@TREARN TRICKLE@EGE.EDU.TR In Turkey: TRICKLE@TRMETU TRICKLE@3090.CC.METU.EDU.TR If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.its.rpi.edu!listserv If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive. Send these commands to the server to get its help files: Use this command for LISTSERV: GET PDGET HELP Use this command for TRICKLE: /HELP Sample command (which gets our catalog of MS-DOS files): /pdget mail /pub/msdos/filedocs/simlist.zip uuencode These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify xxencode instead of uuencode to avoid character translation problems. The SimTel Software Repository does *not* run these servers. Comments, questions, and suggestions should be directed to the LISTSERV or TRICKLE manager at one of these addresses, depending on which server you normally use: Internet BITNET ----------------------- ---------------- "John Fisher" "Marty Hoag" "TRICKLE Maintainers" [Note: Do not use ftp-by-mail servers without the permission of your system administrator and (if fed via uucp) your uucp feed. Thank you. Justification: many sites simply don't have the disk space set up to do this without warning, and mail disruption may result.] Keith Petersen, General Manager of the SimTel Software Repository, a service mark of Coast to Coast Telecommunications, Clarkston, MI, U.S.A.
