The robust method of accessing files over the network is to
use the ftp program, which allows file transfers but does
not allow you to read articles.  Furthermore, the files
must be explicitly placed in certain directories so
that you can access them.  I have had success, however,
using my PC to connect to a Unix machine, telnet'ing
to hpcvbbs, and using kermit to transfer from there
to my PC.  This only works when the network traffic
and the bbs are not too heavily loaded.
