The easiest way I have found to read lengthy subdirectories on
FTP is simply to set the scrollback buffer in my communications
software (Qmodem) to 500 lines.  I can then scroll up and down
with ease after having used "ls -lF" to send the image of the
directory to the buffer.

Yes.  Speak with the system and network admins at MIT.  It is likely they
have installed TCP-wrapper or otherwise to keep unauthorized connections
OUT of their internal network.

Alternatively, make sure your sister does the 'mesg y' thingy, assuming she
uses a REAL Unix that has such a command, e.g., SunOS.  I believe SysVR3 has
it, but I know not of SysVR4, Mach, etc.

Less is in relation to 120 pounds per year (10x12) if you just want
mail.  Our subscription including mail gives you 2.5mb of
mail per month included and costs 55 pounds per year for members of the PC
user group and 75 pounds per year for non-members.  By my
calculation if you require email and news only that is at the very least
50 pounds cheaper (including the dratted VAT)

For email the costs are less than Demon and
similarly there are no time charges and you only need a

It's not free over here in New Zealand.  All uucp connected sites have
to pay for sending AND receiving e-mail - about US$10/megabyte; sites on
the Internet pay for total tcp/ip volume (mail/telnet/ftp etc). The
situation is similar in many other countries -- it all depends on
whether the people who run your network decide to be generous and
encourage network activity or user-pays capitalists like they are here.

To send binary files over the hermes link to CIS you should probably
use uuencode/uudecode.  Both can be found on major unix systems near

Well... I am not sure where you are trying to get to MIT from, but, if it
is through the Cleveland Freenet,  it isn't going to work. CFN doesn't offer
such services. You can chat to people that are on the system, but not over
the network.

As for going from other places, what operating systems are on the two 
ends?? I know that there is an old and a new version of 'talk,' and they
don't work together. 

Later.

I use FTP a lot. But, there are some sites that have huge directories
with tons of files. How can I read the contents of these (huge) directories
displaying them screen by screen and not using Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S. Is there a
way that I can pipe the "more" command or something else with "ls" or "dir"?

For example: 

ftp> ls "|more" or something like this.

Thanx a bunch.

Dragan.
