IETF RFC 629
Scenario for using the Network Journal Last modified on Monday, April 10th, 2000 Permanent link to RFC 629 Search GitHub Wiki for RFC 629 Show other RFCs mentioning RFC 629 Network Working Group Jeanne North Request for Comment: 629 SRI-ARC NIC 22383 March 27, 1974 SCENARIO FOR USING THE NETWORK JOURNAL Network users may send mail to individuals and to groups, input as messages or entire files, through the Network Journal, using SNDMSG or their site's mail system. The mail is converted at NIC into NLS files, Journalized, and sent to specified recipients. Short messages may be received as messages, longer ones as citations to files which may be retrieved immediately, and also later, by using FTP. Mail sent to NIC with a "/" in the user-name field invokes the Net Journal. SENDING THE MESSAGE OR FILE BY TELEX SNDMSG Construct user field with slash and NIC idents: [Users:] sender ident/addressee ident(s)@NIC e.g. "JEW/DHC MAP@NIC". To send to a group, use group ident, e.g. "JEW/NLG@NIC". To combine Journal SNDMSG with SNDMSG to others, add others' Network addresses after commas, e.g. "JEW/DHC@NIC,PRATT@ISI". See ARPANET Directory for NIC idents and Network addresses. [@] SNDMSG <CR> [Type ? for help] [Users:] JEW/NGG <SP> DHC@NIC, PRATT@ISI <CR> [Subject:] Title of Message <CR> [Message (? for help):] Text of message ... Note: ^B allows insertion of a sequential file as the message or at any point in the test of the message: ^B [(Insert file:)] <directory>file <ALT> [ext ...EOF)] <^Z> [jew/ngg dhc@nic -- ok] (or [ -- queued -- timed-out]) [pratt@isi -- ok] When using SNDMSG through TELNET, change TELNET escape character, to ^Q for example, allowing ^Z to be used for end-of-message. RETRIEVING THE FILE FROM NETWORK JOURNAL Substitute the citation received, for example "<GJOURNAL>21695", for "<journal>number" and supply a filename in the following: [@] FTP <CR> [HOST FTP User process x.xx.x] North PAGE 1 |
