	It's easy to do. Here in the Former Soviet Union exists newsgroup
relcom.penpals. There are many requests from abroad already. The host
that keeps and sends out all newsgroups in the CIS is kiae.su, the address
of news-server is news@kiae.su. You can just SUBSCRIBE there or FEED there
or just send there a letter with request.

	I think there is very old and false opinion in the world, that
Russia still under some kind of "barrier". If you are interesting you
can just write to me. I'll answer any your question.

I am using Procomm right now (dos machine), and wonder if there 
a terminal program that I can download that would do a better job
of emulating some of the more common terminals used here on the net.

I don't really need a full on communications package, just something 
that would make life a bit easier on machines that are set up for
specific terminals......thanks,

And then explain to your ticked-off system administrator why you deserve
to get your computing privileges reinstated.

As a more reasonable idea, try asking your local FTP administrator
if he'll make a directory available to you, or have your friend
try to get a directory on his system.

We're all still waiting (and it won't do any good to ask Prodigy since

There are commercial products that do vt100 to 3270 translation
on inbound telnets to VM/CMS and there are products that do
3270 to vt100 translation of outbound telnets from VM/CMS.

There are theoretical reasons why the first can be made to work,
but the second is always going to be unsatisfactory.

It revolves around the fact that many computers use VT100 key
strokes as "hot keys" (including all control characters, upper
and lowercase letters, the arrow keys, and the keypad keys -- in 
worst case situations like "emacs".)

However, the 3270 is a block mode terminal that forwards data only
when an enter or function key is pressed, and does not send key
strokes in sequence, but only the contents of the screen.

Thus VT100 to 3270 translation involves a loss of information
that cannot be regained going 3270 to vt100 again.

We have had reasonable success with Simware's  product that does
vt100->3270 for inbound telnets; thought it did not work with
ncsa telnet for the mac, and mac and pc tn3270's were a bit
cleaner to use.

I tested a product called ANET that did 3270->vt100 translation.

It was reasonable *provided* you understand the strong theoretical
limits on what can be done. It provided ways to assign ascii key
strokes to PF keys.

I would not however, recommend its use for a novice user trying to
access the Internet. It is nearly transparent only for applications
that take lines of input with no hot keys.  It might be feasible
for in-house applications where all the needed key mappings could
be anticipated. It would be hopelessly confusing in the wide world
of the nets.

(We did not purchase it; partly on my evaluation and perhaps partly 
because the department that would have benifited was a bit small to
bear the costs.)

ANET *is* a well written commercial application.  I doubt anyone can do
much better, but I would encourage people to avoid vt100->3270->vt100
telnet paths, because of the inherent limits of the situation.

  I NEVER thought I would need this so I ignored all the discussion
about FREEnets and such. Well, NOW I need it.  The site I'm at now has
full internet access but no news feed yet. :(  

  What would be my BEST alternative (read free) for getting access to
news?  I'd like it to be someplace that I can temporarily store
articles and then FTP back to my local account and dump the files
here.  Yes, I have full news access here at K-State but I won't have
this account much longer.  The account I refer to above is at another
University.

   AAAAAH! We hate seeing our regular users suddenly ftp in from
across the country. We will immediately disable an account when we see
that, until we find the user so they can change their passwd. (no we
don't take the account away, just stick a shell script in that says to
see us)
  It is *impossible* to distinguish between "friendy" ftp and cracked
passords. We are pretty strict on the one account-one user policy!
  There's a THIRD option, why not ask your sysadm? If you already have
anonymous ftp, it's trivial to put the files into the "private"
directory and delete them later. Your site may or may not allow
individual users to write to the ftp directory (we don't but we will
put user files there)

Starting Jan 4, 1993, CNS will offer the Commerce Business Daily on line.
You will be able to do a keyword search, and view the results on the
screen. You will have the option of sending a given result to your email
address. 

This is part of CNS's new offering called "BusinessLink".  Access is
offered by one of the following methods: 
 
       1) A Colorado Springs number  719-520-1700
       2) A Denver number            303-756-2656
       3) Telnet access at cscns.com
       4) An 800 number

All methods of access are charged at $3.95 per hour, except the 800
service. The 800 service is $8.00 per hour. A minimum charge of $10 is
made every month. There is a one-time start-up fee of $35. 
 
To subscribe, please call CNS during working hours via voice at
719-592-1240. After Jan 4, you may also subscribe to "Business Link"
on-line if you are paying with any major credit card. 

CNS cannot guarrantee these rates beyond March, 1992. This is because CNS
pays a high price for the CBD information. It is hoped that our very low
price attracts enough users to make up the cost. If this is not the case
by March, the price must be increased accordingly. 
 
We are anxious to evaluate the interest in this service. If you have
interest, comments, or questions please drop me a line. 

CNS is a full service Internet provider, offering slip, uucp, and dial-up
services to the Internet.

There was posted a list about ftp-mail services and in that article
was mentioned some mailserver, but not the internet addresses. 
Servers are:

being more convinient.
