We are happy to announce a new FTP server, abs.apple.com (also known as
medraut.apple.com). This server will be used to help support products
developed by the Apple Business Systems division, including MAE, the
Apple Workgroup Servers, Appletalk Remote Access, Appletalk Internet
Router, AppleShare, AppleSearch and others.

This server currently has two functions: it runs the MAE-USERS and
MAE-ANNOUNCE mailing lists for the MAE product, and it is an FTP server. 
The FTP partition has been loaded with copies of the ABS technical notes for
our various products, and also has some software packages that have been
configured for A/UX for the AWS95. 

We expect to add more to the server as time goes on, including gopher, WWW, and
WAIS services as well as filling out the existing services with patches,
software and other information. We're also looking into setting up mirrors
with other related sites, both within Apple and with machines such as
Jagubox, so that we can simplify distribution and standard how the files are
accessed.

If you have questions or problems with the new server, please email
chuq@abs.apple.com
