If you can ftp, you can get files from LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET by mail. send the command INDEX APPLE2-L to LISTSERV%BROWNVM.BITNET@MITVMA.MIT.EDU for a list of what's available. Also, Kevin Henigan got so frustrated trying to get files from a UUCP site that he figured out how to get the //JOB facility to work. This is a bit obtuse, and I don't know that it'll work from, say a Pro-Line site, but you may want to send mail to LISTSERV%BROWNVM.BITNET@MITVMA.MIT.EDU containing the following text - //JOB1 JOB Reply-via=Mail,Reply-to="user%node@mail.forwarder" INDEX APPLE2-L //JOB1 EOJ the Reply-to for a Pro-Line should be: user%pro-whatever.cts.com@nosc.mil ** user = sender-id of course ** UUCP users who don't know their Internet mail forwarder, may find that user%node.UUCP@PSUVAX1 will work. The trick is an address that works FROM BITNET. If you receive the index, you can obtain files with GET APPLE2-L yy-nnnnn lines in place of the INDEX command.
