I'm looking for a local Usenet/Internet site in Toronto that will give me
anonymous FTP access (free, preferably).  I'd also like a quick explanation of
the FTP process; If there is an FAQ about this, please email it to:

Sounds like you're not adding the '.BITNET' in the address of
the BITNET hosts (if it's properly defined in your MAILER),
when sending mail:

  listserv@host.BITNET

  You also can use a 'gateway' between BITNET and Internet.

  listserv%host.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu

A rather naieve question I know but is it possible for us to transmit a
local newsgroup to several of our International sites in a secure and
closed fashion. Would a mailing list be better for this ?

You don't actually need to call up each article by number if you are
following a thread.  Using ^N  (that's Control N) will skip to the next
article with the same subject line as the one you are reading.  If there
are no more on that subject, it goes back to the first unread article
left in your list; then you can use = to view the subject headings
again, type in the number of the first article of the next thread you
wish to read, and skip through that topic with ^N again, etc. etc.

You will be asked to confirm that you wish to mark all remaining articles
as read.  So the key sequence is 'c' then 'y'.

I am running VMS version 5.4-1 on a VAX. I have ANUNEWS running locally
with a news feed coming from an upstream site. All newsgroups of interest
get transferred to this local site.

I am having diffucilty determining what is necessary so that local posts
get passed out to the internet. Right now, local posts stay local. Although 
this is ok in some instances, posts to newsgroups gotton from the upstream

Any suggestions regarding technique used, documentation references, etc.

In nslookup, "set q=MX" and then type the address that you wish to

wild-card MX records that exist out there.

Usenet headers are typically a superset of RFC 822-type headers.  If
you save the articles in "mailbox" format, you should have little
trouble using your mail program on articles.

You assume properly, though this isn't always a good assumption,

Obviously, I know how to log on, or hook in, to the UseNet News
from my home system, which is the Cleveland Freenet.  Just out of
curiousity, how does one connect oneself to the UseNet News if one is a
subscriber to CompuServe or Prodigy?  Never having used either of these
services, I have no idea what the menu choices are to connect to the
UseNet.  I need to know because some friends of mine who just subscribed to
these services do not know about the UseNet News yet.

A mailed answer would be very appreciated, as I am on the road a lot and
cannot monitor this group regularly.  Thanks in advance.

   No, there isn't.

Yes, there is.  It's called the "Inter-Network Mail Guide" posted in
comp.mail.misc and news.newusers.questions (although I don't remember
seeing one since July, and jik's last archive is from June).

From that guide:
#F compuserve
#T internet
#R user@domain
#I send to '>INTERNET:user@domain' (only from CompuServe users)

#F internet
#T compuserve
#R 71234,567
#I send to '71234.567@compuserve.com'
#I   Ordinary Compuserve account IDs are pairs of octal numbers


You can get it via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in
/pub/usenet/comp.mail.misc/June_1992_Inter-Network_Mail_Guide.Z

If you don't have ftp, send mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
with message
send usenet/comp.mail.misc/June_1992_Inter-Network_Mail_Guide.Z

Send message `help' for more info about the mail-server.

 CH> invalid addresses? What steps does one follow?

Using dig on my workstation as an example:

; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> loiosh.eff.org. mx 
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY , status: NOERROR, id: 6
;; flags: qr aa rd ra ; Ques: 1, Ans: 1, Auth: 0, Addit: 1
;; QUESTIONS: 
;;	loiosh.eff.org, type = MX, class = IN

;; ANSWERS:
loiosh.eff.org.	78045	MX	100 eff.org.

;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
eff.org.	78045	A	192.88.144.3

Note that this doesn't list the address for loiosh, since it's not among
its own MXes.  However, as shown below, it does have one...

; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> loiosh.eff.org a 
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY , status: NOERROR, id: 6
;; flags: qr aa rd ra ; Ques: 1, Ans: 1, Auth: 0, Addit: 0
;; QUESTIONS: 
;;	loiosh.eff.org, type = A, class = IN

;; ANSWERS:
loiosh.eff.org.	78031	A	192.88.144.32

You can also use dig dom.ain.name any, though you may want to add the +aa
(authoritative answer) flag to make sure you don't get incomplete cached
data.

; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> loiosh.eff.org any +aa 
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY , status: NOERROR, id: 6
;; flags: qr aa rd ra ; Ques: 1, Ans: 3, Auth: 0, Addit: 1
;; QUESTIONS: 
;;	loiosh.eff.org, type = ANY, class = IN

;; ANSWERS:
loiosh.eff.org.	77923	A	192.88.144.32
loiosh.eff.org.	77923	HINFO	Sun-ELC UNIX
loiosh.eff.org.	77923	MX	100 eff.org.

;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
eff.org.	77923	A	192.88.144.3

Hi,
is anyone able to explain in less words or to 
provide a glance about
differences and intentions of
usenet, telnet, internet, ftp.
I am using a Sun Workstation.
Many thanks in advance,

Subject: QWK format

On a unix system, such as a univeristy computer, is there anyway to
collect messages and then download them in a QWK packet?  It would save
on system resources by allowing the reading and responding to be done
offline. It also makes it easy for the user to keep track of the boards
he/she wishes to add/delete because you can handle all of it through the
program that handles the QWK format.
