Scott,

Here's a simple Unix csh script that will do the trick.  This script will ftp
to the site twice; once to get the directory listening, the second time to get
the file.

I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but this script works for me!


Best wishes,

Mark,

They are not legally on-line anywhere since CCITT makes money by
selling paper copies.

There is an experimental info server run by the ITU which gives you

I also heard rumblings at the IETF meeting in Boston last week in
which a couple of people started talking about the "meta-protocol"
for information services, merging the work on Gopher, WAIS,
Prospero, etc. Informed comment from a couple of protocol developers
was that it might be a little early, but people I know working
on clients would love to see this happen. Personally I think
it just a few months early, but I'd love to hear of any moves people
are making in this area.

As far as archie is concerned, we've deliberately structured it
so that additional protocols could be plugged in easily, since it
seems that it will be awhile before this shakes itself out.

We're adding WAIS support to pick up large text searching and access, 
and can add additional database functionality fairly easily if we see 
the need, so thoughts on what else could be needed in such a context
would be appreciated.

VMS comes with sockets and a C library to fake unix io for those with low

Remember VMS is POSIX compliant.

Hi Eric,

THe only internet access that is public in the LA area is the NETCOM
service. It has a local access # in the 310. For a few $ a month,
they give you shell access like elroy when you dial in :_)

Others in the nixpub listing are not true internet, they are UUCp node
only.

	Here's a question aimed at new and experienced inet admins...

	Let's say you want to get your company interested in getting
on the internet.  One way of assuring that the company would be safe
is to have the internet machine completely disconnected from any
of the company's nets.  In other words, you'd have to walk to some
room and use the specific dedicated internet machine.

	That seems little better than not having internet access, and I can't
believe that this would be the case at many/most companies on the internet.

	So, what information is available about firewalling the internet
machine, so that it can be logged onto/used from within the company, and still
be considered to secure from outside attempts at entry?  Please point
me towards papers on the subject, I can ftp via email.
