Would some of you guru's help a little guy?
I have just arranged for a group (Adventist Amateur Radio Association) to
have a listserve out of Andrews University. The real desire we have is for
our many Amateurs using Packet to be able to communicate with us on the
Internet via this listserve. The list is actually designed for the AARA to
help in any way possible.
Could any of you tell me what we need to do in order for our Packet using
members to access the list? I hope this message does not come across as too
ignorant but that is my condition currently. Please help. I assume this
list is operating that way.

If you are searching for a program with telnet and ftp clients working
in Microsoft Windows try WinQVTNet, you can get it by anonymous ftp at
nic.switch.ch in the file /mirror/msdos/windows/qvtnet33.zip .It is a
very nice program. Also it contains a POP3 client (the pop client needs
a special unix POP server because it uses Xtra commands to send the mail).
Also yo will need packet drivers(the winpkt.com program and the packet
driver for your ethernet card). These are found also in nic.switch.ch,
file /mirror/msdos/pktdrvr/drivers.zip.
If you need a MS-DOS POP (remote access to an e-mail server) client with
menu based interface, you can get the file
/mirror/msdos/pktdrvr/popml322.zip. Yo can have a lot of happy users
using it. If you want to have running this program in Windows with the
QVTNet program at the same time you will need also the program
/mirror/msdos/pktdrvr/pktmux12.zip .
As clients, this programs does not need to be running all the time, only
until the user ask for a service. Here in my network this programs are
running with a Ka9q(Nos) telnet,ftp and POP3 server. (as far i know any
executable version includes this services).
Greetings and Good Luck!!

I had to go through past tcp-group digests to remind myself what this one
was about: I have trouble remembering what I did last week, let alone last
year! The bug fix I reported at the time was to sort out a problem where
the record command would add an extra CR at the end of each line, resulting
in the sequence CR CR LF instead of CR LF. This caused some text-reading
programs to double-space.
This means that it's got nothing to do with the problem you have,
unfortunately. I do remember noticing the problem with -- More --, but I
was on to something else at the time and forgot about it. I have a nasty
feeling that I had a brief look at it and decided that it wasn't easy to fix,
but I'm not sure. I've only just got my NOS machine running again (had it
off-line due to a combination of moving house and hardware faults); if I
can remember how to reproduce the fault I'll look into it.

Yep, apart from having my machine off-line, we're not connected to Internet
from here (yet!). It may happen before very long; you never know.

Hello to the group
I am running a Linux os and wampes on our local ham tcpip network.
Almost everything is running properly, except that Im having trouble
getting smtp squared away. Im using Smail 3.1.28 as an MTA, but
I have not been able to get incoming smtp from other local nos systems.
I am a total newbie with Linux, and dont have a real clear understanding
of the relationship between smtpd and Smail as it is supposed to be called
by inetd. Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer some helpful
hints (other than going back to dos based nos!). Thanks in advance...
Glenn / we9k
