IMHO, you are asking your question in the wrong group.  While announcements
of new Internet services certainly belong here, questions about meteorology
(e.g. weather) belong in the sci.geo.meteorology newsgroup.

Before posting your question to sci.geo.meteorology, I would suggest you
first read the sci.geo.meteorology faq "Sources of Meteorological Data FAQ".
The summary line for the article is "Weather and research data available via
Internet, CD-ROM, and tape".

The sci.geo.meteorology faq is regularly posted to sci.geo.meteorology and
news.answers.  If the article has expired at your site it is available via
anonymous FTP from pit-manager.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/weather-data.

If you do not have access to FTP, you can also obtain the sci.geo.meteorology
faq by sending mail to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" with a Subject: line
of ""send usenet/news.answers/weather-data".  To find out more about the
pit-manager mail-server, you can send a Subject: line of "help" to the
mail-server.

You could also check the alt.internet.services list of services maintained
by Scott Yanoff <yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu> and regularly posted under the
title "Updated Internet Services List".  The list is also available via
anonymous FTP from csd4.csd.uwm.edu in the file /pub/inet.services.txt.

By checking with the "Updated Internet Services List" you would see that
you can find the current weather conditions around the world by contacting
the Weather Underground server at the University of Michigan.
[telnet madlab.sprl.umich.edu 3000]

By checking with the sci.geo.meteorology faq you would have found both
the Weather Underground and satellite images available for FTP from
cumulus.met.ed.ac.uk.

USENET is divided into subject areas and so the best place to find answers
to questions is from the experts in the subject area.  I would also suggest
that you always check the FAQ for the groups of interest.

Excuse me, but your article is hardly a very good question.  I can only
assume that you are trying to find out what scu.edu stands for.

The most common way of finding this out is the UNIX "whois" command.
For example to find out who "scu.edu" is, you could use the command
"whois -h nic.ddn.mil scu.edu".  You can also find out useing WHOIS
by directly contacting the NIC [Network Information Center] using telnet.
"telnet nic.ddn.mil" and follow the directions provided.

To answer your question scu.edu is "Santa Clara University".

This a very basic question and it suggests that it would be useful for you
to learn a little more about the Internet before proceeding.

I would suggest that you read one of the fine introductions to the Internet
"Zen and the Art of the Internet" or the "Hitchhikers guide to the Internet".

"Zen and the Art of the Internet" is available via anonymous FTP from
(among many other places) ftp.uu.net:/inet/doc/zen-1.0.tar.Z.  A second
edition has now been published and can be found in or ordered through most
major bookstores.

The "Hitchhikers guide to the Internet" was published as an RFC (RFC1118)
and is available from (among many other places) nic.ddn.mil:/rfc/rfc1118.txt.
Additionally, RFCs may be requested through electronic mail from the
automated NIC mail server by sending a message to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL
with a subject line of "rfc ####" for text versions or a subject line
of "rfc ####.PS" for PostScript versions.  To obtain the RFC index,
the subject line of your message should read "rfc index".
An updated version of the "Hitchhikers guide to the Internet" has been
published under the title "The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog"
and can be found in or ordered through most major bookstores.

Are there other such Military info sites that one can go to, to find
out about Military Personnel?  Even the ones without accounts...
When personnel move around family doesn't always get told ahead
of time and it would be much easier to find out at a dbase.

I have been trying to use the talk function, but the display is all 
messed up.  The characters I type and the ones I receive from the 
person I'm "talking" to, vertically scroll, one at a time, on the left 
screen of my margin.

I am using PSI's global dialup service to connect with an University 
account I have.  I type "vt100" at the term prompt.  

My software is "terminal" from Microsoft, it was included with my 
Windows 3.1 upgrade.  My "communications" are set as 2400 baud, 
no parity, Xon/Xoff flow control, 1 stop bit.  Terminal emulation is 
DEC VT-100 (Ansi).

I would like all of your suggestions to try to stop this mess up in the 
display.  I'm tired of seeing the characters scrolling faster than they 
can be read on the left of the screen.  I want to see them horizontal 
in the bottom half of the screen.

of answering it.  With 3000 odd newsgroups to look through expecting

Ah, but here is where you are mistaken.  The gateway software I wrote does
allow interactive messages to be sent between an NJE-only host and a
TCP/IP-only host, provided that they use my gateway server on a machine
that knows both protocols.  I was wondering if anyone else had ever
designed such a gateway.

Keywords: Hytelent telnet internet library wais
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1992 05:08:27 GMT

Notice of Upgrade to Hytelnet for the Macintosh.  version 6.3.0
 
This version will work over a network, and will be able to use
the IBM PC data files.  The numbering system and directory structure are the
same as the PC version.
 
If you want a copy of this version of Hytelnet please send a note to
Charles Burchill <burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca>.
 
The complete set comes as a 600K binhex file so make sure that your
mail package will support mail of this size. It may be available from
access.usask.ca in the near future.
 
Hytelnet comes as a binhex'd self extracting archive: Hytelnet for the
Mac.  You will need about 1.2Mb free hard disk space, HyperCard 2.x.
The archive contains Hytelnet, a hypercard stack that reads the raw
data files from Peter Scotts Hytelnet.  It also contains a 'Hytelnet
data' folder containing many folders with the Hytelnet data files (1000+).
 
Modifications from the last version:
- Finder Events XCMD added to allow the use of some apple event to communicate
  with the finder. This is mainly used to open Telnet and TN3270 without
  having to worry about the name or location of the program.
- Configuration items have been moved to a configuration dialog.
- Using the Configuration settings the Telnet, and TN3270 applications can 
  have other names and be located in a variety of locations, along with the
  configuration files.
- A button has been added that will extract the site files from letters coming
  frmo the LIB_HYTELNET mailing list.  The headers will be stripped and the
  file will be saved in the appropriate folder with the name that occurs
  in the letter. The site names will be saved in a seperate file
  "New Site Names 'current date'". The site name lists are not
   automatically updated.
 
Binhex'd files may be unarchived using binhex 4.0, Stuffit, Compactor Pro,
Tickler and many other common archiving programs.

HYTELNET is a utility that is designed to assist you in reaching all of the
INTERNET-accessible libraries, Freenets, CWISs,Library BBSs, & other
information sites by Telnet.  It is available for IBM PC, Unix, VMS and 
Macintosh computers.
