Path: utzoo!telecom-request Date: Thu, 16 May 91 19:05:05 EST From: Thomas Lapp Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: Change in BITFTP Policy Message-ID: Organization: TELECOM Digest Sender: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 367, Message 2 of 8 Lines: 36 Perhaps the subject line should read enforcement of policy, since I'm not sure they ever said that they would support users who were not on BITNET/EARN/NETNORTH. At any rate, since Patrick has mentioned use of BITFTP for users who do not have FTP access, but mail-only access, I thought I should pass the following message along (I received this message back this afternoon from my latest BITFTP request): > Date: Thu, 16 May 1991 16:46:12 EDT > From: Princeton BITNET FTP Server > Subject: BITFTP REPLY > 16:46:12 > FTP cs.widener.edu > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > * * BITFTP is no longer able to provide service to * * > * * nodes that are not directly on EARN or BITNET * * > * * or NetNorth.
