There was a file posted a few weeks ago by Geoff Allen about his attempts
to get PD Mac software from server sites and such.  He claimed that the
best method was to use the list server (LISTSERV) at Rice University.

I tried sending a message (with the commands $MACARCH GET) to
LISTSERV@ricevml.rice.edu.  I tried every address permutation as well
as other Rice machines I know of (like titan).  My mail got bounced
every time, claiming it doesn't know user LISTSERV.  I know my mail is
getting thru to Rice, since I can reach its archive-server@titan.rice.edu
and our mail goes thru UUNET which has a direct link with Rice.  

Any clues as to why this is happening?

Also, is there a way to access the sumex archive without being an Internet
site (ie no ftp)?

Please send e-mail responses.
