Unfortunately, the Bart Mail server, which I think you are refering to, was
recently discontinued due to na overload. The overload caused the system
administrators to shut BART down.

The lastest releases of Spice, through the University of California, Berkly
are NOT public domain, and incorporate many new features (or so I've
heard).

There are a still a few commercial Spice versions out there for free.
Probably the most well known would be Pspice for the PC and for the Mac. It
is given out with a Pspice book published by Prentice Hall for college use
and authored by Paul Tuinenga.

The Pspice program is freely distributable for the IBM and MAC. I have a
copy of the IBM version (although I am a Mac Man), and it says on the title
page that it is freeely copyable. The Mac version is available (just
recently, with many thanks to Tony Chi at USC) via anonymous ftp from
info-mac/app/pspice3.08b.hqx at the archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

The only problem with Pspice is that although it has a nice "parts" library
and is works quite well is that it can only work for up to ten transistors.
This is the 'public-release' limitation. I hope this helps!
