Academic Computing Services announces the availability of telnet and
ftp services for the purposes of transferring files and performing
graphics terminal emulation in our Building 12 labs.  The following
equipment in the following labs have TCP/IP software installed on
them:

12-102    All Macintosh Systems use SU/Mac-IP and Brown University
          tn3270
          All PC Systems use Clarkson University TCP (CUTCP) which
          supports Telnet and FTP.
12-105D   All Macintosh Systems use SU/Mac-IP and tn3270.
12-202    All PC Systems use CUTCP
34-167    All PC Systems use CUTCP

The primary purpose of the PC's and Macintoshes in these labs is to
provide access to native DOS, Windows and Macintosh applications; non-
graphic terminal sessions should be done in the terminal labs.  Those
people using the Macs and PCs for non-graphic telnet sessions will be
asked to go to a terminal lab.

These facilities should be used as locations where users may transfer
files down to Mac or PC formats directly.  They should also be used by
users as a means of backing up the contents of their accounts and
archiving old files which are not currently in use.

MACINTOSH SYSTEMS:

Users start SU/Mac-IP to use FTP to and from non-3270 systems (IBM's
VM and MVS systems).  TN3270 should be used for 3270 systems such as
OASIS or ACADEMIC with the ftp application being started on the
mainframe and the PC or Mac as the remote FTP server.  These systems
are setup with reverse name look-up which should allow anonymous ftp
with almost any site.

ftp on the Macintosh is via SU/Mac-IP and is dialogue box driven
application.

Throughput as high as 15 K bytes per second.  ftp is usually much
faster than Kermit, Zmodem, etc. for file transfers.

PC SYSTEMS:

Users must type NETMENU on our PC's to get a menu of our Network
applications.  These include Telnet and FTP.  If the user does not
type NETMENU, the paths are not always set up correctly to find the
Telnet/FTP batch files.

Users start ftp to use FTP to and from non-3270 systems.  CUTCP Telnet
allows 3270 connections for 3270 systems such as OASIS or ACADEMIC. 
Currently the PCs do not have reverse name look-up on the name
servers, and as a result some sites may not allow anonymous FTP.

ftp on the PCs works very much like ftp on UNIX systems.

Throughput as high as 120 K bytes per second.  Again, much faster than
Kermit, Zmodem, etc. for file transfers.
