Subject: Server shutdown
SIMTEL20 continues to be a reposity for public domain software. That
has NOT changed. Those on the Internet may continue to access the
files using "FTP" (a file transfer program not related to netmail).
What WAS shut down was the netmail server which allowed those NOT on
the Internet to get files via netmail.
PC Pursuit is a service of Telenet which allows subscribers in the
United States to call any Telenet node and connect with an outgoing
dialer modem in about 20 large cities. It costs a flat fee of $25 per
month.
GEnie is a large national on-line timeshare system, available by
subscription only ($5 per hour for 300/1200 bps), to users in the
U.S.A., Canada, and Japan. They are NOT connected to other networks.
My remote CP/M system is a free access system available via telephone
dial-up. It also happens to be in one of the cities that PC Pursuit
serves. It is NOT accessable from any other network.
