Would be nice if uunet implemented an MBAS like >thing for its customers... When I was a customer of uunet, they were prepared to fetch files by anonymous ftp for me, and then mail it to me for collection with the regular delivery. I know it's not as convenient as being able to ftp things yourself but it does mean you're not limited to what you can get directly from uunet. I imagine they still provide this service to customers; ask them. -- Daniel Cohen Department of Computer Science Email: dc@dcs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary and Westfield College Tel: +44 71 975 5249/4/5 Mile End Road, London E1 4NS, UK Fax: +44 81 980 6533 *** Glory, Glory, Hallelujah ***
