Don't know what computer your talking about or what type of programs,
but, generally there is a good amount of software available from
wuarchive.wustl.edu, archive.umich.edu, and nic.funet.fi   There are
tons more, but  these are my choices  for all around programs.

I have a question.  I have downloaded some mac stuff in binary mode.  My
question is that when I use zmodem to get it, the filetype and creator are
gone.  My eg, is a Microsoft Word document, I used FTP to get it in binary
(Mac files have 2 forks) mode and then I used zmodem transfer protocol to
get the file to my computer, only the file type and creator were both
"????"  so I changed them to what they should have been, but the file was
not readable as anything but text.  What should I do.  Thanks, in advance.
 Please reply by email, as I do not normally have access to news, thanks.

Folks at Prodigy are aggressively working to get the e-mail gateway

venture a guess that it will take another 2-3 months for the rollout.

Dear Fellow Netters:



I have two questions for some knowledgeable netters.

1. What kind of error control scheme does FTP protocol use ?, e.g.
is it GO BACK N, SELECTIVE REPEAT ETC., also is there any FEC provided.

2. The reason I ask this is that I need to transfer data long distance 
using modems connected to PCs at both ends.  I would like to save on the
telephone cost as much as possible.  Does anyone have an experience doing
this ?  What package/protocol would you recommend ? 


Thanks

Greetings,

Is there an Internet site that offers public NNTP (Netnews) service?  We have
an NNTP server on campus, but by the time the feed gets to us it has been
filtered through several sites and edited down to quite a few less groups that
I believe are generally active.  Several groups that people here have seen
mentioned elsewhere are not on our list.  This would be for off-hours access.

I do not want to sneak in somewhere, I want to know if there are any sites that
provide this capability and expect people to use it.

Thanks for any information.  Email is fine, or I also subscribe to this group.
