ray@vantage.UUCP... >> ... would be interested in someone/s in the know summarizing what led >> to [bitftp's demise] -- I assume that too much success did them in? that's the story i heard. their success was a heavy burden on their immediate network neighbors. their mail server may also have been crushed by the load. >> Is anyone aware of plans for a similar service being set up by someone else? >> Free is always great, but I would also be interested in commercial services. there's always decwrl!ftpmail, back from its weeklong absence. it's free, it's kindof slow and inconvenient, and the commands are very different from bitftp's (there's no CD command, for example). to use, send a message to decwrl!ftpmail (or ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com) consisting of the word "help" (without the quotes). the subject line is ignored. -- Paul Vixie DEC Western Research Lab <vixie@pa.dec.com> <paul@vixie.sf.ca.us> Palo Alto, California, USA ...!decwrl!vixie ...!vixie!paul
