I've attached to this file a current copy of the Telecom Archives main
directory, as well as one of the sub-directories dealing with security
issues. You'll note there are various sub-directories in the archives
covering dozens of topics.

Almost every issue of TELECOM Digest is available in the first several
sub-directories, broken down by year. Within each of those directories
one will find the back issues in groups of fifty issues each. There
are exceptions to this with the very, very old issues; and a few of the
oldest issues are missing, but most that were missing have been found at
one site or another and put in order here.

All the areacode files have been updated in recent weeks by Carl Moore
to reflect the several changes since these files were first installed
back in 1989-1990. In addition, Carl has recently updated the 'history.
of.area.splits' file. 

We have several glossary files including a new one uploaded to the 
archives just a couple weeks ago which was found at a naval FTP site.

Among the various index files is one which is an accelerated index to
subject and authors in Volumes 9-10-11 of TELECOM Digest, covering the
years 1989, 1990 and 1991. This will be updated at the end of this
year to include subjects and authors for 1992 in Volume 12. The way
you use the accelerated index is by taking it back to your site and
first uncompressing it. It is *very large* (as are many of the
archives files as you will see), so it is recommended you have lots of
spare room to store it. After it has been uncompressed (it is many
thousands of lines in length), you then use grep to seek out phrases,
author names, volume and issue numbers, etc. The file is in strict
alphabetical order ignoring the 'Re:' which appears at the start of
many messages. Where two or more articles are identical in title, then
the sort continues by the author's first name and last name, i.e. John
Higdon would come before Robert Adams. Due to some irregularities and
inconsistencies in the use of upper/lower case and the occassional
typographical error it is suggested you use the most liberal
instructions you can with grep; for example ignoring case, using
wildcards when possible, etc. Please note that being too liberal in
your search criteria will result in a huge number of things you do
*not* wish to see ... and being too specific in your search may cause
you to miss something. Experiment around for the best results. Read
the several lines at the top of this file which provide additional
help in locating what you want. 

The 'telecom-recent' file contains the most recent batch of fifty
issues of the Digest. This file is flushed on the fiftieth and 
hundredth issues, with x01 - x50 (or x51 - x00) moved to permanent
storage in the sub-directories at the top of the list as soon as I can
after distribution. You can pick up recent missing issues from this
file. 

How to get there from here:

    Use anonymous FTP:    ftp lcs.mit.edu
    Login anonymous, and use your name@site as password.
    When logged in, 'cd telecom-archives'.

On your first visit, you may wish to simply pull the various index
files and take them back to your site for review. 

Anonymous FTP is limited of course to Internet sites, and that is a
pity since so many readers of the Digest and comp.dcom.telecom are at
UUCP sites or entirely different networks. Those folks will need to
use an email <==> ftp server ... and although we've had these around
from time to time, I don't know the address of any at present.

==  Can anyone provide us with a good reliable email <==> ftp link?  ==
If so, you'd be doing a big favor for all the Compuserve, MCI/ATT Mail,
and UUCP sites reading the Digest ... please write me with details.

Not included here are the sub-directories which deal with Canadian
area codes and place names; the comprehensive country code listings;
the back issues of the Digest since 1981; and others. You can capture
those yourself during your visit to the Archives.

I want to especially point out that if you want a complete and up to
date area code list, the one in the archives was updated by Carl Moore
just days ago and anticipates changes being made in the next few
months. And of course Dave Leibold's hard work with the country code
tables is to be commended. (Carl also worked on this.)

The archives changes daily as each new issue of the Digest is filed
away, and new files of all kinds arrive almost weekly, so keep up to
date by reviewing the main directory each time you visit.
