OBSOLETE: NO LONGER APPLIES
No DECnet gateways exist which I know of, and
CERN and W3C do not provide email gateways.
No internet connection
You are not on the internet? You
know you aren't because none of the
usual commands are available to
you like telnet and ftp. Don't worry:
all is not lost. There are two possibilities.
If you are on DECnet
If you are on a DECnet, then you
can use DECnet versions of the W3
software. You can get infromation
from outside the DECnet you are on
so long as somebody somewheer runs
a gateway into the internet ona a
machine which is connected to both.
By mail
If you have electronic mail, then
it possible (though slow!) to get
W3 information by mail. try sending
a mail to listserv@info.cern.ch with
a line in it saying just
HELP
to get back instructions . Your
mail system must have a mail gataeway
onto internet mail, but hat is quite
likely. You might have to take the
internet address above and ask your
friendly system manager how to convert
it into the equivalent mail address
on the system you are using. See
more about the robot .
