A while ago, I said (in alt.internet.services and bit.listserv.infonets)
  Does anyone know if access to MEDLINE (Lockheed's medical database)
  is possible via the internet. I assume that one has to be a registered
  'user' before access is possible.
I received a number of replies, the following were the most helpful.
(at least one site said they had it available as a general facility)
Thanks to all who replied.

Sure but you might add that it is NOT free.  It is a pay for use database.
It is also a very complex database which would be best serched using the
NLM grateful med software (which works on the internet as well as phone
lines), otherwise the search languge is old, and very cumbersome, when you
are paying by the minute it adds up.  If you request info from NLM I'm sure
they have a more accurate posting than I can provide.

Please be aware that MEDLINE is NOT "Lockeed's medical database"; it is the
National Library of Medicine's database and is licensed for redistribution to
various commercial database vendors, including Lockeed's DIALOG service. One of
the best ways to access MEDLINE is via NLM's Grateful Med software, which is
designed for non-librarians, etc., to use. Call NLM at 1-800-638-8480 for more
info on Grateful Med, which is very inexpensive and available for both DOS and
Mac environments. You will have to set up an account with NLM. I might  note
that MEDLINE is also availble on CD-ROM in many medical and large academic
libraries and may be free to walk-in patrons of those facilities.

For those sending to friends with accounts on Compuserve, be aware that 
the receiver is charged for messages received from the Internet.  I don't 
have the exact information, but believe the per message charge to be 
around $0.35.  Corrections welcome.  Also, Compuserve has made positive 
changes in the Internet message gateway which now allows the transmission 
of fairly large (300k or more, I believe) messages from Compuserve to an 
Internet account.  Again, corrections welcome.

Thanks for the information on reaching the various mail services.  One 
other that I can think of - what is the procedure for reaching AppleLink?

Remember that broadcasting services leads to them shutting down
or becoming so overloaded they're useless. The more
you advertise, the more people use it and the less reason the
people running it have to continue doing so. Administering
the public service becomes a pain.

Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 16:09:33 GMT

I've compiled a list of information sources on the Internet and 
computer-mediated communication (CMC).  This list (Release 1.6)
is available via anonymous ftp from:

	host: ftp.rpi.edu
	file: pub/communications/internet-cmc

The purpose of this file is to list pointers to information describing 
the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
communication (CMC).  Topics of interest include the technical, 
social, cognitive, and psychological aspects of CMC.

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for improving this file or
expanding the list of information sources contained in it.

This file might help those getting started in understanding the 
Internet and CMC; it compactly summarizes sources of information for 
those who are already exploring these issues.

Contents:
	Section -1- THE INTERNET AND SERVICES
	Section -2- INFORMATION SERVICES/ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS
	Section -3- SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
	Section -4- NEWSGROUPS
	Section -5- SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

I'm working on this information as part of an independent study project; 
I'll update the file periodically.

I  would check out wais sources (list of servers) at think.com.

Many universities have their phone lists available through wais 
(UNC does, for instance), so if the person you are looking for
is at enlightened university :), you may be lucky.

you can get wais clients for just about any archictecture at sunsite.unc.edu
in /pub/wais.

but, unless your just curious about this sort of thing, this is the sort
of thing that old fashioned tools (like the phone company's directory service)
are suited to.

good luck,
jem.

I think you can get access to Internet through the Pegusus network to

Physicians get information from this Host computer down to their PC clients

We need a consultant that is very experienced setting up UNIX mail servers.
Specifically, we want MD's to be able to send and recieve E-mail

yet to acquire, out to any other MD on another PC.

If we can get information acquired from the Host database into mail messages,
