I'd be interested in that too...! I learned about NCSA telnet from this 
news group about a year ago. After some mailing and asking around, I learned,
that with no anonymeous ftp available, I had to order (by S-Mail, not E-Mail)
an order form from U. of Illinois. I did, it took about 3 months for the form
to swim across the ocean. I filled it in, ordered some manuals too and sent
a check for $58.25. This was February 1989. It took about another 3 months
till the check was cashed. --- and then, there was silence. I expected, I
had to wait another 2 to 4 months to receive the stuff, but nothing happened.
I think, it's about time now, to start complaining that the order got lost?

I don't want to complain here, that the order got lost, that's something that
can happen. Only, what really pissed me off, was that when I rechecked the
order form, there was only an S-Mail address, no phone or fax number nor a
E-Mail address! Given that in the past it took them regularly 3 months to
react - how could I then complain with any hope of success?
