Thanks. This makes me wonder about those mail servers. I don't use them myself, but I know some folks do. I've only had limited experience with them. In the FAQ and AAR files, there is this listing: The following are FTP mail servers: -> Email: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com -> Email: ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu -> Email: bitftp@pucc What I want to know is, how do these work? Do you just send a message with "help" or "info" in the subject or body? If somebody knows how to use these, please email me about it so I can put some info in the FAQ-AAR files. -- ....... ...... ....... ....... ...... ...... ....... ....... ... ... ... /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// ------- --- ------- ------- ------ --- ------- --- --- --- --- --- === === === === ====== === === ====== === === === === === ####### ###### ### ### ### ### ###### ###### ### ### ####### ###########
