I am using Telnet and FTP from CUTCP Version 2.2. I was looking around for 
newer versions of Telnet and FTP-software (a little more user friendly, Mac-
like, Turbo-Vision based?) but could not find any. Does anyone know of such 
programs for MS-DOS?
Also, I was searching for a WAIS-client for DOS that works in my 
environment (DOS+Novell Netware 3.11). Any suggestions on this?
Many thanks in advance

I saw the ad for Inforserv and his replies, but they all seem to be in the U.S.
and I only have one half year left on the Internet (I'm graduating in half a year),
so I'm looking for an alternative solution...

Or does anyone know some other way to connect a local BBS, without Internet

An old Professor of mine has contaced me about how to do library searches,

I'm completely outof touch with what is available in that neck of the woods...

I would be, and he would be, grateful for any information that would help him
get connected to the net and allow him to search for those ancient tomes. I'm
not even sure if U. of Puget Sound is on the Net, but I susupect not.

Is anyone aware of a way in up there? As cheap as possible? He's retired and

Well, if you get things slowly, like perhaps 512K per day, then none of 
the sites will get nasty with you. Unless it's long distance, in which 
case it's better to spend a whopping $60 and order Linux from SLS in 
Vancouver. Note, those are media costs only -- not money for Unix.

        Every _DOS_ offline reader I've tried (and that's lots) lets
        you designate your favorite editor or word processor to
        compose messages. They also include a primitive editor, but
        that's only for completeness and usually borrowed from one of
        the code libraries used by the author. No-one in their right
        mind in the DOS software community is about to write yet
        another editor. (OTOH, someone in the Unix community should
        think about it, seriously, real soon. Somebody also needs to
        do something about this terminally wierd 'rn' thing that I'm
        forced to use for Usenet. Doesn't anybody in the Unix world
        know that all the KSR-33's and LA-30's are scrap and that it's
        now possible to scroll backwards? :-)

This only works for the single-line version, which eSoft is trying to stop
selling (you can still buy it, but they've announced they will no longer
upgrade it).  On two-line or larger systems, you either buy their
dBase-like system (which costs as much as the base package), or you do
without.

Aloha!

I would like to know if anyone has information or recommendations on software 
that has the following specifications and functions.  It must also run on
the platform described.

OS:  MS-DOS or UNIX
X.25 Capability, supports 32 concurrent users (virtual circuits)
386 Machine, 25 MHz
IBM Compatible

The software is for a basic retrieval service that allows a user to move
through a tree-structured system of menus to reach widely used types of
information.  The information would be in the form of text documents.  The
software would also need to be able to distinguish between different
services on the system; for example one service may be about Public Safety
and another service may be Health information.  When choosing the Public
Safety service you have a menu with only Public Safety information choices;
the two services would be oblivious of each other except for where they
are stored.  It would be desirable if you could stop one service without
affecting the other service.  Another feature desired is the ability to
down load documents by users and/or the ability to send the document to
the users printer from a remote location.

Added features that are not necessary but would be nice are: key word
searches, uploading remotely by authorized users, ANSI graphics.

I am not looking for a "true" bbs software; something that can be 
customized would be fine.  Thank you for your time and responses.

Please send email to koga@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu
