At present they are not available by FTP. I noticed that Al Hartshorn
who is our "man @Technion" has an internet address now, so it might
well be that files will be available by FTP in the future.
Bitnet is obsolete anyway and all limitions to internet people are
imposed by bitnet-nodes, not the other way round !
You can continue to communicate with Listserv@technion, however, but
you have to do everything through mail, instead of interactively or
through files.
The only inconvenient thing is that files with lines exceeding 80
characters will be wrapped. As far as I know only the SHOGI-L FILELIST
exceeds 80 chars, so in practice this may not be a problem.
 
Hope this helps,
