>> From cs.ucsb.edu!jerry Thu Oct 14 17:17:43 1993 >> From: Jeremiah W. James >> Subject: SIMTEL20 Here is what I gleaned from the official documents at the primary mirror site, oak.oakland.edu. I have condensed some of it to make it easier to read, and some of it is directly quoted from the official documents. The new SimTel Software Repository is a service mark of Coast to Coast Telecommunications, Inc. It is (still) being maintained by Keith Petersen, w8sdz@SimTel.Coast.NET. He is no longer being paid by the U.S. Army to maintain the archives. For security reasons, the SimTel Software Repository is located on a host that is not accessible by Internet users. However, its files are available by anonymous ftp from the following mirror sites: Mirror Site IP Address Contact address -------------------- -------------- --------------- OAK.Oakland.Edu 141.210.10.117 admin@Vela.ACS.Oakland.Edu wwuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 archive@wuarchive.wustl.edu archive.orst.edu 128.193.2.13 archivist@archive.orst.edu ftp.uu.net 192.48.96.9 archive-request@uunet.uu.net ftp.funet.fi 128.214.6.100 msdos-adm@nic.funet.fi src.doc.ic.ac.uk 146.169.2.1 ukuug-soft@doc.ic.ac.uk ftp.switch.ch 130.59.1.40 switchiinfo@switch.ch archie.au 139.130.4.6 ftp@archie.au NCTUCCCA.edu.tw 140.111.1.10 ftp-adm@NCTUCCCA.edu.tw ftp.technion.ac.il 132.68.1.10 ftp-admin@ftp.technion.ac.il If you do not have FTP access to the SimTel mirrors, files may be ordered by e-mail from the following 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.] Jerry James jerry@cs.ucsb.edu
