Dear User,
Thank you for your faxed (or mailed) inquiry about how to obtain
files from InterNet anonymous ftp archives of garbo.uwasa.fi at the
University of Vaasa, Finland, or other similar systems.
If you are not familiar with the concept of InterNet archive sites,
for practical reasons you should try find a knowledgeable person
near you to help you with the basic concepts. Universities (and
a number business firms) are most often parts of this net.
If you have access to InterNet, and you have the facilities use FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) then utilize that possibility to connect to
a site such as ours, SimTel archives (especially if you are in North
America), the mirrors of SimTel, and Garbo mirrors NCTUCCCA.edu.tw,
wuarchive.wustl.edu, archie.au, or any other ftp site that has the
desired files. If you are not familiar with FTP, you are welcome to
ask me for our prerecorded instructions for garbo.uwasa.fi by
electronic mail if you have a reachable electronic mail address
yourself. If you do not receive my reply within five days, please
ask your own site's system manager to construct a returnable mail
path for you.
If you don't have FTP then (but only then) consider the mail
servers. As explained in the above, I can send you our prerecorded
instructions. They also cover the Garbo's mail server. Just send an
electronic mail request to my email address. As for the mail
servers of the other archive sites, trying to provide that
information is beyond our scope.
If these options are not open to you, consider BBSes. If you have a
modem, you can call Vaasa Freeport BBS for the files. The phone
numbers are (+358)-61-3170972, 3170974 and 3248490, . The settings
are 9600,N,8,1. When connecting the first time give "bbs" as your
login. This information is subject to changes. In the U.S. Detroit
Download Central 313-885-3956 has SimTel files (and thus probably
all my packages including tsfaqn##.zip Frequently Asked Questions I
so often refer to).
I regret to inform that I cannot take the time to arrange sending
programs or other material from garbo.uwasa.fi archives by ordinary
physical mail. This kind of service is given rather by commercial
shareware distributors, and individual shareware authors.
