A question to gurus: I have a vax account at University. While away from school for a semester (internship) I have been working in Lexington. I did find a ph# which throws me in University of Kentucky telnet facility. Thus I do not have to pay long distance charges in order to check my mailbox in Ohio. But I have no clue about the appropriate procedures with regards to transfering files between 3 computers: Miami Vax ( account in Oxford, OH ), University of Kentucky telnet provider, and my laptop from which I connect through modem ( 14.4 ) from my appartment to telnet provider. I've got to admit, I am a layman. Please do not RTFM me. A detailed explanation in a laymen language with examples would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would appreciate if you could give me the names of publications pertinent to this topic. Thank you in advance. Andre.
