Hi there-- There's nothing wrong with quartz.  We had a little bit
of downtime last week due to a power failure on campus, but that was
last Tuesday (1/19) night.  If the machine quartz is particularly
loaded at the time you call, it might take some time (perhaps a
minute) to get a login prompt; there's nothing I can do about that
short of a hardware upgrade which isn't going to happen.

Hi! I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this
question, but I'm so annoyed with our mainframe right
now that I don't trust it to find the right one. Basically,
I am ftping to a sight, I can logon, but I can't get any
further beyond the actual dir/ls commands. And please
don't tell me try the "Help" commands, because they haven't
told me anything I haven't read a thousand times. They also
aren't written in English from what I can tell. Can someone
tell me what the heck a "plain file" is? Also, why does it
keep scrolling with "invalid filemode" or something
similar? I managed to get one file, but the next time
nothing seems to work. HELP!

How does one get public access to internet and other electronic bulletin
boards?  How much does it cost?  Who or what organizations would we be able to
access?  What type of hardware would we require?  What are the rules of posting
messages (ie. can we advertise our products, let hte public know about
statistical releases ...) We are a Federal Department just investigating the
possibility of electronic bulletin boards instead of using direct mail
campaigns.  I'd appreciate an answer A.S.A.P.  Thank you.

Well, I did have more to say than that. :-)  I have no idea what happened
to the text I typed into 'vi'. 

Basically, I just got a bit over-zealous in my previous posting about
ddsw1.mcs.com.  OK, so it is in fact not now connected to the Internet. 
However, if what I said wasn't precisely the truth, then it was very close.

My purpose in posting was to say that ddsw1.mcs.com will be connected very
soon and anyone interested in an Internet BBS in Chicago should e-mail to
'karl@ddsw1.mcs.com' for more information.  Include your surface mail
address in your message to get subscriber forms via snail mail.  I just got

I had to interject here.

I used to call the NY Transfer BBS because at the time they were the only
local outlet for the Fidonet shortwave echo.

However, the Kellys insisted on using the automatic origin line (inserted
on the bottom of echoed messages originating from their system) with such
friendly messages as "DEATH TO THE BRITISH" without user's knowledge
or consent. After being barraged with hate mail from users of other systems
resulting from something we could not even control, the NY Transfer was
abandoned for friendlier systems.

As I know it, Project Gutenburg is a project to get wads of books in 
electronic format on the Net by the end of the century.

You might try the Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletter, and Academic
Discussion Lists, by Michael Stangelove (Internet: 441495@acadvm1.uottawa.ca) 
& Diane Kovacs (librk329@ksuvxa.edu); published by the Association of 
Research Libraries.  The chapter of interest is entitled
"Post-Gutenburg Galexy" by Steve Harnad.  You might try to e-mail Strangelove
and/or Kovacs for an electronic version of the text (rather than buying the
whole book), or Steven Harnad himself (harnad@clarity.princeton.edu).  I'm
sure one of these people will be able to point you in the right direction, 
there are all prolific electronic publishers.

Good luck, hope this is been of help.

Charles.
