Andy, I connected to it yesterday (after many, many tries!) and could not get
it to "press enter" from my SUN using the tn3270 emulation, but calling it from
home, via the SUN, using an ANSI terminal worked just fine (although the site
was quite slow...)

The only problem I had calling from home was that some of the menu item
descriptions don't show up on my Paperwhite monitor...??

Cheers,
Wes

Maybe the Catholic Church also runs Prodigy.   Both are _so_ open to

I propose a new newsgroup. whiners and complainers. 

There just isn't enough room in all the newsgroups for the dialogue referring
to where messages belong and what etiquette is. 
So, it's time to unite all the opinions and frustrations into a new newsgroup. 

So the next time someone tells you to talk your post to another newsgroup tell
them that their post belongs in Whiners, and complainers. 


Hey, just an idea.

Hi Julia!

Try a session something like this..

$ ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu    #or appropriate address
Login: anonymous             #or FTP for most sites as well
Password: jlinthi1@ua1vm.ua.edu

ftp> binary   #unless you're getting ascii files

Type set to I

ftp> cd /mirrors/msdos/desqview
200 CWD Command OK

ftp> get spawn15.zip yourfilename   #I found that you can leave "yourfilename"
				    # out on the unix system, but I had to force
                                    # a filename on VM so it would go to my
                                    # A disk
666 Sending Spawn15.zip in BINARY mode, 12345 bytes... took 1.0E+10 seconds,
transfer rate 5.6K/sec

ftp> lcd ~wes/msdos/desqview
Local directory changed to /home/ccs-lab1/wes/msdos/desqview

ftp> mget dv*	     #gets everything starting with the letters dv *
mget dvcron.exe? y   #may not wildcard with a VM system, I've never tried
mget dvthis.com? y
mget dvthat.zip? n

ftp> quit

That is a rough approximation of a typical FTP session on either the Unix or
VM system here. Your system may vary.

Cheers,
Wes

There is no one site which carries ALL usenet newsgroups.  There
are many newsgroups with locak distributions.  For example, here
on this computer, we have newsgroups which are local to this
computer.  Then there are newsgroups local to monash university,
and more local to the city of melbourne, and then local to the
country of Australia.  Then we receive newsgroups which have
world distribution.  I assume that what you are after is a list
of newsgroups distributed throughout the world.  You can find
this list in the newsgroup news.lists, posted regularly with
subject List of Active Newsgroups, Parts I & II.  It explains in
more detail about newsgroups.  I would recommend that you read
the introductory material there which is very useful.

If I could, I would have put this all in Dutch because, after all, why 
should we expect all postings to be in English.

According to The European, the most prevalent language in Europe is actually 
German!

Lets allow people to use their own language for posting.

The thing that amazes me is these four nameless, faceless people never
surface in the local panix newsgroups with comments on the order of
magnitude of Andrew Ruskin... There's ALWAYS dialog about "problems" --
Some of the problems, albeit a low percentage, a bona fide system problems
and a promptly (IMHO) addressed by the support crew at panix. Most of the
"problems" are user-related -- "how do I do this?" type questions ranging
from very inexperienced users just venturing in UNIX to the highly
technical. And you know what? I haven't seen one question that went
unanswered...

I'm just miffed at Andrew Raskin's comments. But, then again Timothy Leary
sums it up -- "Fiction versus non-fiction isn't significant. It's all
fiction, all just viewpoints. What is history but differing perspectives
about times past?"

If we don't digress into the past and focus on the present, I think there's
some great things going on at panix! Alexis mentioned some of the upgrades
to the system, but he forgot to mention:

o	The panix.hunt team won the January Internet Hunt! 
o	We're also a bunch of social animals -- triple the number of people 
	expected showed up at the panix Christmas party. There's another 
	party in the plans in the next few weeks...

So... Bottom line is Andrew Ruskin isn't quite in touch with the present
and seems to have NO IDEA what the panix system is today.

That's my two cents.

I've tried Panix and am pleased with the quality of service.  Unless I am

access.  Sure, there are dozens of "mail only" or mail/news only sites,
I don't know why Mondo chooses to publicize the Mindvox system.  They're
overpriced, inept, and don't even have high-speed modem dialups.  When
I subscribe to a service, I expect some degree of response when I ask the
administrators a question.  I was told by digital@mindvox.phantom.com that
they have high speed dialups (which is why I signed up, and was overcharged
$30 on my credit card but that's another story).  Turns out they DO NOT have
high speed modems.  Sorry if it sounds like I'm attacking them, but in all
honesty they are the most unprofessional, irresponsible, and sneakiest bunch
of weasels ever to soil the sacred grounds of cyberspace.

Probably similar reasons to yours blabbering your pathetic little commercial
ineptitude everywhere.  Ego and greed.

Hello,

I am searching for a dial-up BBS or an on-line service like
CompuServe in Mexico which might offer Internet access to
its subscribers. Is there a way for a mexican private to access
Internet at a reasonable cost, at least for exchanging email?

Thank you in advance for any hint.

Bye bye

Luca Giachino
