- Please notice this version is not the "official" rfmail version, but yet
- another thread (sigh). It would be very nice if all the people doing fixes
- and enchancements for rfmail at least would post diffs to the rfmail
- mailing list (rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi). Also asking whether someone already
- is doing this work is a good idea.

- BSD support is in rfmail 0.3.9. Don't know if anybody has actually used it,

-
- Partially my fault, as I haven't posted my versions, I guess..
-
- How to get rfmail 0.3.9:
- -------
- Rfmail is a program to convert Fidonet mail and echomail to rfc822 mail and
- newsgroups. It is not perfect but it works. System V.3 and up and BSD 4.3
- have been tested, Xenix and older Unix versions may require couple of nights.
-
- By ftp:
- in Europe
- ftp nic.funet.fi, 128.214.6.100, directory pub/unix/mail/rfmail.
- in USA
- ftp ccb.ucsf.edu, 128.218.1.13, Pub/rfmail039.tar.Z
-
- By email:
- I can mail it to you if you find no way of ftp'ing it. Try other ideas
- first.
-
- By downloading it with modem:
- Call +358-0-8031121, login as guest. All times except European Fidonet ZMH
- and about an hour around it is reserved, otherwise login is ok.
- Modems supported are V32 and V22bis, MNP 5, I have multitech v32.
- Protocols supported are those supported by unix zmodem, ie. zmodem
- itself, ymodem and xmodem.
- Please notice this number is in Finland and it may be costly call.
- Also notice that poor phone line quality may make connection impossible.
- Modem may be often reserved for long time. If it is busy for couple of
- calls it probably will stay busy for several hours.
-
- By Fidonet file request:
- Not from my system, but try mailing to rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi.
-
- By uucp:
- Not from my system, but try mailing to rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi.
-
- By normal mail, on floppy:
- I can copy it for you on floppy, either 1.2M or 360K. Send me a
- mailer, ready with addresses and all so I can just stick it in the
- mail. To cover mail expenses, please send me couple of extra floppies.
- Rfmail distribution needs either one 1.2M floppy or two 360k floppies.
- Please specify if you want ms-dos format or straight unix tar format.
- Ms-dos format is better for me but I can do both.

-
- Other possibilities:
- Mail rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi and ask, it may be possible that
- someone nearer you already has it. This is preferable specially
- if you are in west side of the atlantic, Europe is connected to
- US with heavily used slow link.
-
- How to join rfmail mailing list:
- Mail owner-rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi
-
- I post diffs to rfmail in rfmail@otax.tky.hut.fi.
-
- If you arrange rfmail to be available somehow, please notify me so
- that I can add it to this list. Fidonet file request and anynoumous uucp
- sites are the most interesting.
