READ THIS SLOWLY

If you're not on bitnet, then some of you get to experience the kind
of frustration some of us have trying to do things on your nets (esp.
UUCP -- I know "UU" doesn't really stand for Ugh, Ugh, but...).

send SUBSCRIBE, SIGNOFF (or UNSUBSCRIBE), GET and other commands to:

LISTSERV@BROWNVM.bitnet

send postings to APPLE2-L@BROWNVM

If you send your subscribe request to APPLE2-L all that happens is
that it gets posted to the list (and appears in the notebook as a file,
which it clearly isn't).  Chris PROBABLY will see it and get you
subscribed anyway.  If you send a GET command to APPLE2-L it just gets
posted.

LISTSERV@BROWNVM is more or less like info-apple-request@brl.arpa

while

APPLE2-L@BROWNVM is more or less like info-apple@brl.arpa

It's not clear whether the GET command will send files properly across
the gateway because LISTSERV is designed to respond with files, not mail.
Has anyone on arpa or UUCP succeeded at getting a file by way of GET?
