  I run a public-access unix site in Seattle Washington, and I'd like to 
make it easy for people to get to SIMTEL20's archives.  What I'm looking
for is either a way to download files via email (ala uunet's netlib feature)
or some other way to get to the files on that machine without an ftp account.

(I don't have the $$$ to hook my machine up, and I don't have access to
any ftp-capable machine)

  This is probably a request that comp.sys.ibm.pc gets at least once a week,
but I've been reading for the last 2 months & must have missed the replies.

  What I'd like to do:  get a few hundred megabytes of files off of SIMTEL20
and make them available to the random modem-owning public via dialup line
& xmodem/ymodem/zmodem/kermit or whatever they want to use to get the files.
