America Online's Internet mail gateway is part of the basic service that
AOL provides. Users pay only for the time connected, regardless of
whether they are downloading files, hanging out in a chat room, or
retrieving mail from the Internet.

You'll want to use the 'mirror' package for that. It allows you to
maintain two directory hierarchies to be identical (using ftp), or you
can just run it once to copy over the files.  

Use 'archie' to find the mirror package.

I am aware of several bibliographic databases of the economics literature.
One, the Economics Literature Index (ELI), is basically an electronic
compendium of the bibliographic information contained in the _Journal
of Economic Literature_.  Another, more general database is the Social
Scisearch.  My understanding is that both of these are accessible via
Dialog, but of course I want to be able to access this stuff via Internet.

Does anyone know whether Internet access to these or other bibliographic
databases is possible?

Please respond via e-mail; I will summarize.

   Why would you ever do this? Unless you're on Vax of course... Otherwise I
suppose you know about the value of a .netrc?
.netrc's are much more convenient and modifiable...

~/.netrc

Please don't flame me over this!

        Ok, I have a few questions to ask:

1)  How can you find the internet addresses of specific universities?
     (I mean the ones that you can mail messages to people you know
      that go to that university)
        A)  Specifically I'm trying to mail to someone I know at Marquette
            and I *do* happen to know there ID# or whatever.

        B)  I've used "whois" on our vax system but get a list of several
            sites that may or may not be what I'm looking for.  Is there
            A designation for the main university system I should know about?

2)  Why aren't there help files or FAQ's (to ftp, etc) for people who
    know vary little about the system or commands?  It would be helpful to
    have a "on this line type XXX" format, without all the complex stuff
    too.  I know that is a bit picky but it sure would help you get the
    basic understanding and save lots of time!

Not quite - as noted in an earlier post, my site provides free bbs access to
validated users, and, although a small fee is charged for machine-machine
feeds, the policy is simple: no site will have its feed terminated,
regardless of the state of the "account", so long as the B.C. Tel bills
remain paid. In short, any site wanting a free feed can have one, although
I'd prefer they helped out with the phone bills.

Although I haven't checked the lower mainland scene for a long time, I know
there were once serveral sites offering at least free bbs access, and
suspect that there still are (Questor, for instance?).

Hmmm, That sounds good, though I wonder what the folks at Performance
Systems would have to say?  Just got off the telephone with my

Earlier note from  someone pointed out correctly that the spaces in a name
on aol are not critical, as the mailer ignores them. 
Mypoint that I was trying to make is tht when addressing mail _from_ the
internet to aol, such as first last@aol.com, your internet mailer will not
know what to do, since it is not aware that aol handles spaces by ignoring
them, _in house_. If your recipient has an address with a space in it,
well just don't include the space when addressing to aol.
 So again, double check 
, since aol does allow screen names, unlike say, FidoNet.

Good Luck

>(Or just mail me the FAQ)

There are many sources of information on Internet.  The following list was
taken from an article by Joe Abernathy (edtjda@chron.com) in the November
issue of Science PROBE.  It includes several sources of information.

  1. Robert Elton Maas of Stanford, CA, maintains a list of documents on
     how to find indexes to various Internet services.  To get MaasIndex,
     send e-mail to fileserv@shsu.edu with a line in the body saying
          SENDME MaasInfo.TopIndex*

  2. Get the Internet Resource Guide by sending mail to
     info-server@nnsc.nsf.net with the following in the body:
          Request: resource-guide
          Topic: help
          Request: end

  3. Get the Internet list of mailing lists by sending e-mail to
     mail-server@nisc.sri.com with a line as follows:
          send netinfo/interest-groups
     This is *very* long.

  4. To locate system manager, you can send mail to
          service@nic.ddn.mil
     with
          WHOIS <name>
     as the subject line.  You can also telnet directly to nic.ddn.mil
     and run WHOIS.

  5. To get someone's e-mail address, send e-mail to
     mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu, with
          send usenet-addresses/<name>
     where you replace "<name>" with the userid or real name of the
     person you're trying to find.  For those of you who have been frustrated
     finding users with nic.ddn.mil's WHOIS database, this is wonderful.

  6. Get info on BITNIC, the Bitnet Network Information Center by sending
     mail to listserv@bitnic.bitnet with the line
          help

  7. Elliot Parker maintains a computer network bibliography.  Get it by
     sending mail to comserve@rpiecs.bitnet with a message body saying:
          send compunet biblio

  8. Get the "Mining the Internet" tutorial from U of CA by sending request
     to Gee Lee (gblee@ucdavis.edu).

  9. For a geographic name server, telnet to martini.eecs.umich.edu 3000.

 10. For the National Weather Service, telnet to 141.212.196.79 3000.

 11. For FTP services for non FTP users, send mail with the word HELP to
     FTPMAIL@DECWRL.DEC.COM.

This is only a partial list, but includes the major items.  For more
information, see the November issue of SciencePROBE.  I haven't tried
all of them, but the ones I have (2-7 and 11) work wonderfully.  Number
5 is a resource that I've been looking for for a long time.

Hello all. I just got an email from someone I used to know on a local
BBS who said that he just heard about a service that will be starting up
in Canada called "Free Net". It's supposed to give "anyone with a
computer and a modem" "free worldwide network access and services".... 
by this I take it means internet access. Supposedly, the government and
private industry is putting up 200 grands to get this going and it's
FREE? This service is going to start off in BC, then it'll slowly be
available across Canada... supposedly. So can anyone confirm this? Can
anyone provide more details? Has anyone heard of this "Free Net" before?
Sounds too good to be true??

Sorry, you're out of luck. The only Internet/Usenet connections Malaysia
has right now is a uucp connection via Mimos, which serves UTM and a few
other Universities. I understand that a REAL Internet connection is in 
the offing for early 93, but no details whether the local sites will be
directly connected. At any rate, other than private networks, such as HP
and other multinationals, there are no REAL Internet sites in Malaysia
right now.

Hi Netters,
A friend working in Manhattan, NY has access to UUNET but needs access to
Internet. His area code is 212. Pls suggest how he should go about getting
access.
Thanx,
PG.
