I'm not sure this is the appropriate newsgroup for this, so my apologies 
to anyone if I'm off-topic, but is there an Internet/RBBSNet gateway 
somewhere?  I've got a friend who's running an RBBSNet system, and I'd 
like to occassionally "reach out and touch" him (not in the biblical 
sense, of course!).

Replies via email would be greatly appreciated.

Season's Greetings...

	Is there an FTP, TELNET, RLOGIN, etc. sight that conatains CENSUS data
for 1990.  I know that peoples names and specific information is held by the
government for 70 years before it is made public.  However, demographics (ie
racial, religious, income, age, employement, marital status, etc.) is obtain-
able from the CENSUS department as soon as their computers can compile the
data. 
	There is NEVER a need to PAY a consultant hundreds or thousands of
dollars to do a demographics study for you (ie small business potential), when
for a mere $90 our wonderful FEDERAL GOVERNMENT will give you all the infor-
mation you could ever want to have.  What I am wondering, though, is there a
sight (probably .GOV) that has any CENSUS data on it that is publicly retriev-
able?

	BTW, that should be $90 bucks + $0.29 postage (to mail the request) +
FOREVER and a DAY waiting for our wonderful FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to get around
to sending the information back!

There are a few alternatives. You can uuencode the files and mail them by
regular e-mail. you can temporeraly change your password, give it to your
friend, so he/she can ftp to your account, and get the programs.

Hope this helps.

I hardly have trouble in any of the gophers.  It's only when I get into some
particularly interesting corner of the internet such as dra.com or the
gpo new pubs listings that don't provide me with the ability to change
their orientation to a TTY protocal.  The TTY is not perfect but a lot
better than VT100 which just leaves the screen filled with unformatted
data and cursor positioning numbers.
  Just knowing where to inquire about it would be appreciated.

Your CompuServe bill is ALWAYS composed of two parts:
  - connect charges
  - communications surcharges

Everyone pays communications surcharges, even those accessing the service
through the CompuServe Packet Network.  Access through HERMES.MERIT.EDU
is billed at the Sprintnet rate, since that's the medium that connects
MERIT to CompuServe.

OK - let's say you want to send a message to Joe Blow at 105/499 and he 
is located in the US.  His address would be:

                Joe.Blow@f499.n105.z1@fidonet.org

The z1 specifies US (zone 1) - if your recipient is in another region, 
substitute the zone number (z2 for Europe, z3 for Pacific).

If the recipient is on a system that has an address line 105/499.2, the 
address format would be:

                Joe.Blow@p2.f499.n105.z1@fidonet.org

Hope this helps...

Sadly, that's not currently possible. As we can see, Compuserver does appear 
to have a real connection to the Internet.

compuserve.com  preference = 10, mail exchanger = iha.compuserve.com
compuserve.com  preference = 10, mail exchanger = ihb.compuserve.com
compuserve.com  preference = 10, mail exchanger = ihc.compuserve.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
COMPUSERVE.com  nameserver = IHA.COMPUSERVE.COM
COMPUSERVE.com  nameserver = IHB.COMPUSERVE.COM
COMPUSERVE.com  nameserver = IHC.COMPUSERVE.COM
COMPUSERVE.com  nameserver = NS.UU.NET
iha.compuserve.com      internet address = 149.174.128.1
ihb.compuserve.com      internet address = 149.174.128.2
ihc.compuserve.com      internet address = 149.174.128.3
NS.UU.NET       internet address = 137.39.1.3

However, they will not accept any incoming connections either than mail.

You can set an anonymous ftp so that files can be anonymously deleted. I
would not recommend it though since unauthorized users can then delete
your files as well. Why not get an account on the remote system, and do a
regular user ftp login. Permissions could be set so that you belong to a
group that can delete files in a given directory..

Another alternative is to use fsp instead of ftp. Any user can 
set up a private fsp server and tell the friend the address and
the port number for the server. The friend can use the fsp client
to get the files. It does not need password and you can have
security by setting the root for fsp server to a temporary
directory and put the files in it.

The server can be started and stopped at any time both side feel
convenient and the port number can be a secret to anybody else.

Hope this is of help.

But that is not the major use of the finger command. Your .plan 
file is a place where you can put some information you want 
others to know about you.

But the major use is to for system managers. It is easy to see 
what you are doing if logged in and when you were last login etc. 
If you are on a UNIX system a detailed description is given by 
"man finger".
