Digest Back Issues in MBOX format, zipped by year

A quarter-century (1981-2006) of messages from comp.dcom.telecom; about 125,000 messages in Usenet style. Right-click on each of these file names to 'save as' and store, then later unzip them on your computer, or to make a CD for permanent safe-keeping. (Cut off at end of 2006). 2007 not included. If all goes well, when you use 'uncompress' on these DOS files, a new file called 'mail' should appear in your directory with the mail-messages inside it.

TELECOM Digest is an electronic journal devoted mostly but not exclusively to telecommunications topics. It is circulated anywhere there is email, in addition to various telecom forums on a variety of networks such as Compuserve and America On Line, Yahoo Groups, and other forums. It is also gatewayed to Usenet where it appears as the moderated newsgroup "comp.dcom.telecom".

TELECOM Digest is a not-for-profit, mostly non-commercial educational service offered to the Internet by Patrick Townson. All the contents of the Digest are compilation-copyrighted. You may reprint articles in some other media on an occasional basis, but please attribute my work and that of the original author.
