Sorry if I've missed the point of this (I dropped some news due to a sudden
deluge !!). You seem to imply that the GNU software is available from the
mail server. At least last time I tried this simply was *NOT* true. I needed
the GNU binutils. They're not all that large. I tried the info server. Net
result - please use hhcp/cpf. But I'm not on JANET. And I can't afford a
PSS link - not in comparison to the cost of a nice cheap TB link.
I don't think it's too unreasonable not to mail out multi-megabyte files.
What would be nice would be a Trailblazer dedicated to anon uucp or maybe
even slip for FTP. If a modem could be found, would IC be willing to
have it hooked up for this purpose ?
