Subject: uucp net access to SIMTEL20 PD files

    Is this stuff restricted only to persons on the arpanet?  I've been
    seeing lots of reference to PD material here in net.micro.cpm, but it
    seems that most all of it, and all of you, are out in ARPAland.  Is
    there any reason for a lowly uucp netter to be reading this stuff?

Ed, thanks for your note.  Simtel20 is not accessable from the uucp
net, unfortunately.  If you have access to an Arpanet or Milnet host
you can use FTP to get all the files you want.  Otherwise, your local
RCPM will be the best bet.  I post a complete list each month of all
known RCPMs to net.micro.cpm.

If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 because of network restrictions
please remember that MOST of the new files announced to Info-Cpm are
also available on my RCPM Royal Oak (MI) which may be accessed at 300
bps using the 103a modem mode or 1200 bps using either the 212a or
Vadic 3400 modes.  The telephone number is (313) 759-6569.

I don't consider uucp netters to be "lowly".  In fact I try very hard
to make new pd files available to them either via netmail (if the
files are small enough) or by making space available on my RCPM for
requested files.  I have received many comments from uucp readers
thanking me to keeping them up-to-date on what's new in the CP/M
PD world.
