Subject: what is www.netzero.net?
Hy everybody,
I met an ad about http://www.netzero.net/. They offer free Internet
access and email account services (???), but in order to gain access to
these services you have to install a netzero.exe file in your HD. I
enter their site but there is no FAQ. I'm reluctant to install exe files
from dubious origin. If any person know what is it about or has any
clue, I'll be gratefull to any provided information regarding this
issue.
Thanks.

Subject: Angelfire tutorial
Hello ACCMail ...
Our old tutorial on how to set up a free web site at
Angelfire using email-only methods is still in demand,
although it is now definitely out of date.
It had a short life at InternetTrash.com (an easy place to
set up a home page by email, but fairly awful in most other
respects).
It is temporarily at http://home.freeuk.net/szs/afire.htm
and can be obtained using one of the WWW4Mail servers (use
the TSOURCE qualifier).
Given that Angelfire-by-email is rather difficult, and
InternetTrash is unreliable, we don't see much of a future
for this tutorial. What we think is most needed is a good
GetWeb tutorial - one that was independent of specific uses.
Do members of this list have opinions on this?
What we are most interested in is what sort of web sites you
might want to set up by email-only methods. Do you have a
research or campaigning need? Or do you just want to develop
WWW skills?
We would be interested to hear from people with specific
needs as well as general opinions.
Best wishes ...

Yes..
Send blank or empty email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to receive your
password and an attached "info.txt" file.
NOTE: The results are in German.
Here is a translation of the info.txt file by Kai Schindelka
======================
This is the attachment: INFO.TXT
Informations for Downloadslave (www.downloadslave.com)

CONTENTS
1. What does the Downloadslave do?
2. What must I do to use the Downloadslave?
3. How long do I have to wait for the requested files?
4. Frequently answered questions (FAQ)
5. Suggestions
1. What does the Downloadslave do?
Via the Downloadslave you can download any file from the Internet
very easily and cost-saving above all. The HTTP and FTP protocols
are supported. If you send us a request, our server will download
the desired files and return them to you via e-mail.
The connection to the Mail-Server of your provider is much faster
in most cases, so you will make a considerably better use of the
bandwidth of your connection.
Your advantages are:
- You may go offline immediately after sending your request and save
valuable (expensive) online time this way.
- You will not have to worry about lost connections and bad download
rates any longer. In case of errors we will try to get the file for
you repeatedly and we will put only faultless files into your inbox
if possible.
- You may collect interesting links first and request them altogether
later.
- You will receive an acknowledgement message via e-mail which
contains status informations and possibly error details.
2. What must I do to use the Downloadslave?
There are two ways to use our service:
a) via e-mail
b) via the program UrlRequester, which can be downloaded from our
homepage for free.
In both cases you will have to request a password first. You can
achieve this by sending an empty mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Your personal password will be returned to you immediately. When
you have received the password, the service is open and accessible
for you.
a)
Simply send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that contains the
address (URL) of the desired file as text. You may leave the subject
line blank. If you want to request our program UrlRequester via
e-mail for example, the body of the mail should look as follows:
PASS:YOURPASSWD
http://www.downloadslave.com/UrlRequester.zip
You can give FTP adresses without any problem. Several URLs per
message are possible, the maximum number per request is published
on the Web page.
b)
You can make considerably easier use of our service with the above
mentioned program. After its download you only need to extract and
run it. Before the FIRST start you only MUST enter your own e-mail
address as well as your password under the point [PROPERTIES].
After configuring these settings you can drag any LINK from your Web
browser and drop it into the UrlRequester window. When you have all
links together, press the button [SENDREQUEST]. That's it!
You will receive the desired files via e-mail then.
The program has a 'Stay on Top-Interface', so it will always be
visible in the foreground.
3. How long do I have to wait for the requested files?
An acknowledgement message for the request received will be sent
to you immediately. How long the download will take depends on the
number and size of the requested files naturally. Therefore the
time needed may vary between some minutes and several hours. You
may however inform yourself about the status of your requests on
our Web page.
You will probably not need all files immediately. It is often
sufficient to receive the files during the next online session
the following day, too. But with "FULL-SPEED", then.
4. Frequently answered questions (FAQ)
Q: When I am using the UrlRequester 2.0X I am getting the error
message "Unhandled State of Exception: Read-Error 6, The access
number is undefined". [Transcribed word by word, I am no PC user -
Translator's comment]
A: This problem arises for some people who have an T-Online account.
[A German ISP - Translator's comment]
Try to build up an Internet connection via the communications
network with the original Microsoft Winsock Dlls (the UrlRequester
has also been tested with it).
Q: I have the UrlRequester 2.0X. When I try to send a request, it
seems absolutely nothing is coming trough.
A: Since version 2 requests are sent directly to Downloadslave, mails
are not sent any more. (Exception: The request of a password.) For
it's functionality UrlRequester needs access via the ports 1500
and 1504. So, if you are 'sitting' behind a Firewall (resp. Proxy)
please check if these ports are let through.
Q: When I send a request to the Downloadslave I'm receiving no reply
at all.
A: Please pay attention to send all requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Always keep in mind that your password is needed in the mail body
in the form of
PASS:YOURPASSWD
too.
Using our program UrlRequester would be the best. The most important
thing is entering your own e-mail and the password correctly there.
Q: On small files everything functions wonderful. But when I request
a bigger file, I'm just getting an error message or no answer at
all.
A: Your inbox at many Online Services (like T-Online, AOL, CompuServe,
gmx.net etc.) may be restricted to a certain size. Some providers
limit the size of a single mail, too. We cannot deliver the mail
if it exceeds one of these limits. Please avoid unnecessary
traffic by only requesting files which will fit into your inbox.
Q: I would like to download several files. When is it useful to give
more than one file name in a single request?
A: The possibility of giving several URLs in a single mail is useful
if you want to receive all files in a single reply, too (because
the files are connected with each other, for instance). The reply
will only be sent to you when all files are processed. It is
therefor more sensible to send different requests for files which
do not correlate. If the files are relatively big (> 500 K) they
should be requested in separate messages in any case (that is one
mail per file).
Q: Which maximum file size is allowed for requests via the
Downloadslave?
A: Please gather the current maximum file size from our homepage.
Q: I have used Downloadslave a few times successfully, but now I'm
getting no response at all on my requests.
A: Downloadslave bars users automatically if it sees frequent
problems in mail delivering. You have the option to free your
account via Downloadstatus for yourself, however. Please pay
attention to request only files which do not "blow up" your inbox.
Please also switch off your autoresponder, if you have one. Always
write new mails for new requests. (Please do not answer mails from
Downloadslave, because it would interprete them as incorrectly
delivered messages, then.)
Q: I have requested a relatively long URL, but Downloadslave did not
recognize it correctly. It has cut it in the middle! How can I
avoid this problem?
A: The most reliable method of requesting URLs is using the program
UrlRequester. This problem does not arise with it. If you do not
want to use the program, please pay attention to set the automatic
word-wrap in your mail software on a value big enough (for example
255). Switching over from HTML mail sending to text sending may
remedy the problem also.

Hmmm, I think we have a user here that didn't read the Accmail FAQ.
Directly from the FAQ is this section:
* SENDING A FAX BY EMAIL
The TPC.INT "Remote Printing Experiment" is the grandfather of Internet
faxing services. Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no subject and
"help" in the body. For a list of country phone numbers served by this
service, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no subject and nothing
in the body.
You can also get the FAX FAQ via electronic mail. Send email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and enter only this line in the BODY of the

I actually use Netzero. It's a great service, but in return for free Net
access, they display an ad on your desktop. They are the only free
national ISP in the USA, adn their program will not destroy your
computer.

Also,

}------------------------------
define "as attachments"...
The problem is that FTP servers use the old method: appending a UU
encoded copy to the end of a message. Most better mail programs
recognize both that and MIME. Many newer readers no longer support, or
never directly supported, UU attachments.
You will likely be better off getting a UU decoder.

Hint1: The first time, start with:
open (whatever)
dir
cd pub
dir
quit
Likely more than 90% of the time, you will want some thing in a
subdirectory some place directly or indirectly under /pub/. Often you
will want something in /pub/users/(username)/... but it is often best to
start at /pub/.
Hint2: If you have the full URL for the file that you want, it is often
worth looking around in the directories on your way there:
open the.site
dir
cd pub
dir
cd users
dir
cd username
dir
get the_file.that.you_want
quit
