Subject: simtel20 access

A few weeks ago, I was able to access simtel20. I received the INFO
package and then received some catalogues.  I have asked simtel for
some more catalogues and have received no reply.


I received the following information. It is excerpted from an article
on netnews:

>                        ....if you are sending a message through an
>Internet host which is not using its Official Host Name, or does not
>advertize one of the TCP services listed above, do not expect to see a
>reply from us.

What I would like to know is, did I originally access simtel20 legally,
and if so, can I still access it ? I communicate to simtel through ihnp4. Does
this satisfy the above requirements?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
