I don't think this is the "right" newsgrooup to post this in, but I
can't find a more appropriate one.

How does one go about getting on the ARPAnet ?  I am curious about the
hardware necessary (if any) and the cost of doing this.  Also, what
qualifications does a company have to meet to be allowed on ARPAnet ?

The reason for wanting ARPA access is that I keep seeing many programs
that are available via "anonymous FTP".  I DO NOT know how to get
these files from my site which is only on USENET (if in fact it is
possible.)  Does anyone know how to do this ?

Any information on either of these questions would be greatly
appreciated.
