I tried it, and it does not work for me.  I get a "remote protocol error"
message and some bounced mail.

Some time ago, I got mail from someone who offered to help with sort of
thing on simtel, but it seemed the mail connection was one-way.  It's
unseemly to carry one side of the conversation by USENET, so I'm baffled
about how to pursue this.

I could sure use some help finding a email file server for this uucp-
only site.
