Unfortunately, our site is not allowed use of mail servers (although we
do have email).  I have no idea whether this is a common situation.

Thanks for that pointer.  Since I'd gotten in the habit of always
skipping SIMTEL postings, I'd missed the DDC info.  But that too has a
down side since subscription services are out of the question at work.
I can, however, dial the DDC from home.  That's LD Boston to Detroit,
but at least it's a sure thing.  If it were free, I could use it from
work.  That's why, after c.b.i.p., I prefer BBSs.
