Subject: "Man" -liness

I am not a Unix user nor do I consider myself knowledgeable about X and
the Unix GUI. But if I were to understand these better than Richard
Goeritz, why would that make me a "man" of any sort?

Subject: e-mail: under UNIX or under VMS?

Our Center, aimed to provide computing services to social sciences and
humaniti es departments, is on the way to update his main hardware (at
present an IBM 43 41 running VM). The most important use of this
hardware (from the point of view of the number of people using it) is
e-mail through Bitnet.

The updating could be done with an IBM RISC machine running Unix, or
with a VAX running VMS.

Provided that we want to be able to:

- connect to Internet and became an Internet node;
- do interactive remote logins (telnet, ftp, and so on) on hosts of any
type (running VM, VMS, TSO, and so on);
- manage a local Ethernet network (connecting the Departments located in
the buildings of Via S. Ottavio 20) composed by Mac and DOS pc's;
- connect host-to-host (or something like) to remote computing
facilities locat ed about 60 Km. far;

which is the best choice?

Thank you to anyone will help|

I would be interested in doing something about this but I have no idea
how to get a message to the address he uses (ie on compuserve). I would
be grateful therefore if Jeffrey could get in contact with me direct Or
post a route on Humanist for getting messages from JANET (via Bitnet?)
to compuserve.

Subject: REACH

I have cited the REACH newsletter from Santa Barbara as an example of the
growing number of humanities computing newsletters in the Annual Review
of Information Science and Technology Chapter that I am writing. Can
anyone tell me the year in which this newsletter was begun?

Thanks to all those who sent me information regarding my inquiries last
November and December for this chapter.
