One more week... ...but not the usual. I started my new job on Monday and have been working 6:00am to 3:00pm while I learn to back up the Wang VS. I won't be on those hours normally, but this week I am quite fatigued (what most people call pooped). Still, there is news: /Links... Yet another Relay has been added to the system. This one is running at the University of Buffalo and has assumed the name of MASRELAY@UBVM. Thanks to Jeff Kell and Mark Sincock for the information. New feature... From time to time the Bitnotes will feature a Spotlight on a particular file server, ame server, or Listserv group. The feature subject is picked by yours truly, with no undue influence from anyone (yet). Here's the first one: / -----------------------------------------------------------------+ SPOTLIGHT) TCSSERVE @ TCSVM ³ › -----------------------------------------------------------------+ TCSSERVE@TCSVM is a file server at Tulane University. It responds to the following commands: HELP - where is HELP, DIR or SENDME. You will be sent more information on how to use a particular command. If the parameter is omitted a list of valid commands is sent. DIRectory - You will be sent a list of files that are currently available to all TCSSERVE users. SENDme - where is the filename and filetype of the file you want to be sent to you. *PLEASE NOTE* - TCSSERVE sends you files in the SENDFILE format. That's all... That will conclude the Bitnotes for this week. Next week there will be no news but a lot of other fun stuff. See you then. Virtually; Chris (Fuzzyman) BITLIB@YALEVMX COMING SOON: May 30, to be exact. It's the Bitlist Special First Anniversary Issue (say that three time fast). It will include highlights of the past year (including a look at which of my predictions turned out okay and which ones bombed). I might even make some predictions for the next year if I feel lucky. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ³ Active file servers: ³ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ BITSERVE @ CUNYVM - City University of New York CANSERVE @ CANADA01 - University of Guelph CSNEWS @ MAINE - University of Maine KERMSRV @ CUVMA - Kermit Users Server, Columbia University KERMSRV @ UOFT02 - Kermit Users Server, Uiversity of Toledo LFCNET @ ICNUCEVM - National University Computer Center - Pisa MACSERVE @ BITNIC - Macintosh Users Server, Bitnet Support Center NDCSNEWS @ NDSUVM1 - North Dakota State University NICSERVE @ BITNIC - Bitnet Support Center NYSHARE @ WEIZMANN - Weizmann Institute of Science SERVER @ TAMCBA - Texas A & M College of Business Administration SERVER @ UOGUELPH - University of Guelph SILMARIL @ FINHUTC - Helsinki University of Technology TCSSERVE @ TCSVM - Tulane University UH-INFO @ UHUPVM1 - University of Houston Computing Center Subservers - ACSNET - Academic Computing Services PSYCHNET - Psychology VMBBOARD @ WEIZMANN - Weizmann Institute of Science +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ³ Active NETSERV file servers/name servers: ³ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ NETSERV @ AEARN - Austria EARN - Linz NETSERV @ BEARN - National Scientific Research Fund, Brussels NETSERV @ BITNIC - Bitnet Support Center NETSERV @ CANADA01 - University of Guelph NETSERV @ CEARN - Centre Europeen de Recherche Nucleaire NETSERV @ DEARN - German central node of EARN - Darmstadt NETSERV @ EARNET - IBM SC - Roma NETSERV @ EB0UB011 - Universidad de Barcelona NETSERV @ FINHUT - Helsinki University of Technology NETSERV @ FRMOP11 - CNUSC, Montpellier NETSERV @ GREARN - Research Center of Crete - Heraklion NETSERV @ HEARN - Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen NETSERV @ IRLEARN - University College - Dublin NETSERV @ SEARN - Sweden EARN - Stockholm NETSERV @ TAUNIVM - Tel Aviv University NETSERV @ UKACRL - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory - UK EARN +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ³ Mail-based info servers: ³ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ INFO @ CSNET-SH.CS.NET - File server REGISTRAR @ CSNET-SH.CS.NET - Name server CIC @ CSNET-SH.CS.NET - Register your name in the CSNET database All three servers accept *only* RFC822 mail.
