There have been a number of indications that all of the "free"
packets we netland{ans enjoy a la  bulletins
boards and ftps on the DDN will begin to bill charged-
back in something akin to real money. In preparation for that day,
and reflecting on my own less than urgent needs, has anything
been done to set up a mechanism for gettting 9 track tape copies
of the archives for PD S/W residing now on SIMTEL 20? For example,
is it now possible for me to send you a tape to get a "bulk copy
of most of the CPM or MS-DOS PD S for a minimal
administrative cost. While I am more immedia{ely interested for
purposes of obtaining same for users around campus, this sort of 
administative setup could satisfy other users and cutdown on FTP
packets substanially
When/if we really sta{t paying for  net traffic, I would guess
every effort to reduce on-line transfers would help....Da{
