If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@RPIECS If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive. Send this command to the server to get its help file: GET PDGET HELP Sample command (which gets our catalog of files): /PDGET MAIL PD:SIMIBM.ARC UUENCODE These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to avoid character translation problems. > Who do I contact with suggestions or unsolvable problems? Depending on which server you normally use: Internet BITNET "John Fisher" "Marty Hoag" DO NOT send your comment or question about the servers to SIMTEL20. However, if you wish to report a program bug or to request information on how to upload files to SIMTEL20, you may send e-mail to me at one of the addresses below.
