- mearle@falcon.ccsu.edu (Mark Earle) writes of his Fidonet node which
- makes TELECOM Digest materials available.
-
- I should mention The Super Continental BBS, which has a read-only link
- to comp.dcom.telecom, as well as a telecom files section with some
- material from the Archives (though not a complete or formal subset of
- Archives material). It is also home to a couple of related Fidonet
- conferences on telecom, cellular, FCC, etc.
-
- The Super Continental can be reached at +1 416 398.6720 using
- USRobotics HST/v32bis Dual Standard, 24 hours a day (maintenance, mail
- processing excepted). No charge to use or get access; downloads should
- be available on the first call, similar to Mark Earle's system
- description.
-
- Digest postings are limited on this BBS in a few respects: there is a
- message limit, and old messages are automatically purged as new ones
- arrive (at least the last 150 should be available). The newsgroup
- comp.dcom.telecom also depends on regional hubs getting the posts and
- reeling them in.
-
- Fidonet node number for polls, file requests, etc is 1:250/730. If
- file requesting, try the alias name 'FILES' to get an idea of what
- file features are available.
-
- Hopefully a Fidonet-based Digest Archives mirror site can be
- established soon.

- [Moderator's Note: I am not getting as far with this as I expected,
- since there are other variables not yet resolved on this end. If
- someone would be willing to establish or maintain a dialup site where
- the Telecom Archives were kept (or some portion of them) along with
- perhaps a year's worth of back issues of the Digest and make this
- available to whoever wanted to call in and pull missing issues or
- other files, it would be greatly appreciated. One person did write me
- about a month ago to say he was getting his site up and running and
- would have a telecom section; I am greatly embarassed to say I lost
- his name and correspondence. If he will write again, I will immediatly
- add him to the mailing list if he is not already on it.
-
- If those users who operate sites and allow dialup from strangers and
- are also stocking back issues of the Digest and archives files want to
- participate, please let me know. Around the first of the year I will
- print a list of all the phone numbers, site names and instructions.
- This should finally make it possible for our many non-internet readers
- to have more or less full access to the archives files. Thanks. PAT]
