- 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.
