Hello Howard -

The EPPPD+TCPPORT+CONEX combination seems to work best with faster
CPUs.

What transfer rates can you achieve (percentage of direct dialup)
using ztelnet for uploads? 

HE> I had a look at the Boston Library Consortium (www.blc.org) and
HE> Boston Public Library (www.bpl.org) homepages, but couldn't find

Am I correct in assuming these libraries are similar to freenets that
limit access to links only?
