Users limited to electronic mail connectivity can access the archie servers.
The electronic mail interface to an archie server recognizes a subset of the commands described in Using Telnet. These are described below. An empty message, or a message containing no valid requests, is treated as a help request. The help command is exclusive, so other commands in the same message are ignored. If you do not receive a reply from the archie server within sev- eral hours, you might need to add a path command to your message request.
