- OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY KERMIT DIALUP ACCESS
-
- As of: Fri May 22 15:39:13 CDT 1992
-
- UUCP, Kermit and Anonymous FTP access to the complete Kermit distribution
- is available from the Computer Science Department, Oklahoma State
- University, Stillwater.
-
- The files from TAPE A are in /pub/kermit-a/*
- The files from TAPE B are in /pub/kermit-b/*
- The files from TAPE C are in /pub/kermit-c/*
- The files from TAPE D are in /pub/kermit-d/*
- The files from TAPE E are in /pub/kermit-e/*
-
-
- -- UUCP --
-
- You need to set up "okstate" as a site in your "L.sys" (or "Systems")
- UUCP dialing file using the information listed below. You can then issue
- the following commands on your system:
-
- uucp okstate!~/kermit-a/aaaread.me /usr/spool/uucppublic
-
- (this example will retrieve a general information file about the entire
- Kermit Distribution. DO THIS FIRST!)
-
- WARNING: Wildcards are no longer supported, you will need to issue an
- individual uucp command for each file in the distribution you wish to
- retrieve. It may be helpful to use the "-r" switch of the uucp command
- to prevent your system from starting the call after you request the first
- file (it would probably complete before you queued all the requests).
- We regret the inconvience that this causes, but people were getting
- a little too wild with their wild cards and filling up our spool.
-
- "/usr/spool/uucppublic" was chosen as the destination on your system since
- the destination must be WIDE OPEN (drwxrwxrwx) to everyone. Also, the system
- "okstate" must be allowed (via the Permissions or USERFILE file) to write into
- the destination directory.
-
- There are 2 files available that contain information about the entire
- distribution. We recommend that you retrieve these files first. They are
- "aaaread.me" which explains the file name conventions used, and "aafiles.dir"
- which is a complete listing (by name) of all files in the in each kermit
- directory. These files will enable you to choose the right files the first
- time.

- The following is a sample L.sys line (\r is a carriage return). You might

- your phone bills.

-
- Just a few notes on how to best retrieve parts of the Kermit distribution
- using UUCP...
-
- - Install the proper L.sys entry and test it using the debugging option
- of UUCICO (-x4). Repeat this step until you successfully complete a
- "no work" connection, this will verify that your L.sys entry is correct
- and will minimize frazzled nerves.
-
- uucico -r1 -x4 -sokstate
-
- - Retrieve the files `aaaread.me' and `aafiles.dir' with the following
- commands:
-
- uucp -r okstate!~/kermit-a/aaaread.me /usr/spool/uucppublic
- uucp -r okstate!~/kermit-a/aafiles.dir /usr/spool/uucppublic/files.dir.a
- uucp -r okstate!~/kermit-b/aafiles.dir /usr/spool/uucppublic/files.dir.b
- uucp -r okstate!~/kermit-c/aafiles.dir /usr/spool/uucppublic/files.dir.c
- uucp -r okstate!~/kermit-d/aafiles.dir /usr/spool/uucppublic/files.dir.d
- uucp okstate!~/kermit-e/aafiles.dir /usr/spool/uucppublic/files.dir.e
-
- You will have to escape the exclamation point and the tilde if you are
- using the C shell (i.e. ...okstate\!\~/kermit-a...).
-
- - Choose the versions of Kermit that you wish to transfer and issue the
- proper UUCP commands.
-
-
- KERMIT SERVER ACCESS TO THE KERMIT DISTRIBUTION AREA.
-
- Okstate also provides access to the KERMIT distribution via a KERMIT Server.
- The number is the same as above for the uucpker login, so the line may be busy
- quite a bit. This server is a specialized server with controlled access. At
- present, the server is only allowed access to the KERMIT directories on our
- machine.
-
- You need the following information in order to access the server.
-
- KERMIT login : kermsrv
- Password : piggy
- Parity : even
- Data path : 7 bit
- Available : 24 hours/day, 7 days a week
-
- When the login is completed, the server will start, and you should escape
- back to your local KERMIT to issue further commands. If the server remains
- idle for a period of time around 10 minutes, it will be stopped. While the
- server is receiving data other than NAK packets, it will continue to run.
-
- The best place to start after logging on is "REMOTE HELP", followed closely by
- the desired "REMOTE DIR" commands. If you don't include an argument to REMOTE
- DIR, you should be prepared for many many lines of output. It is usually
- better to read the 'aaaread.me' file (using REMOTE TYPE perhaps) and then do
- the DIR with some kind of wildcard (like "REMOTE DIR ck*").
-
- Remember that if your KERMIT does not support remote commands, then you can
- get files from either directory by preceding the file name with the proper
- path, as in:
-
- get /pub/kermit-b/ck*
-
- - If you are having problems connecting to our system PLEASE send mail
- to uucp-support@a.cs.okstate.edu.
-
- ANONYMOUS FTP ACCESS TO THE KERMIT DISTRIBUTION AREA AT OKSTATE.
-
- Internet sites having difficultly reaching the Columbia anonymous
- ftp area may choose to access our anonymous ftp area instead. Connect
- to a.cs.okstate.edu (139.78.9.1), login: anonymous, please use your
- email address as your password so we can collect some statistics.
-
- Enjoy,
