- Yes, we've just (yesterday) started playing with one. We've got a few

- Hi all,
- ELM for IBM-PC's is now available by anon-ftp from
- lister.cc.ic.ac.uk (129.31.80.167) in /pub/elm-pc
-
- The files in that directory are
- README Some basic info
- ELMPC.ZIP A zip file of the product
- PKUNZIP.EXE Un Zip utility also available 'off the net'.
-
- PCNFSRUN.ZIP For people who dont have PCNFS ver 4 yet.
-
- This is a port of ELM to msdos and uses PCNFS to supply the networking.
- ELMPC uses POP3 protocol to fetch mail from a mail server. POP3 on the
- mail server is done by popper (also available of the net). When ELMPC
- sends mail it uses SMTP to the mail server.
-
- Feel free to send me your comments about the program.
