There have been *many* recent changes on the server. Please read.

NEW NEW NEW- this file has been split- there is now a seperate 
README.TRI
file explaining how to connect to team.net, get files, etc.

The British Cars list doesn't have a single FAQ, but we do have file
servers with lots of technical and other information on it, as well 
as
the list digests since 1991.

The file servers are machines where various archives and articles of
interest are stored. You may get copies via "anonymous FTP", or by 
E-mail.

How to connect:

The Team.Net Automotive file and Web server and how to get there:

This file is posted to the list Lucas fashion- randomly, and is 
usually 
newer than what's on the server, so save a copy!

There are several automotive mailing lists file archives hosted by 
Autox.Team.Net. The archives contain lots of technical and other 
automotive information, as well as list digests since 1991.

The file server is a machine where various archives and articles of
interest are stored. You may get copies via "anonymous FTP", and by
using a World Wide Web (WWW) client.

-----

Mailing lists: (Triumph's lists are run by majordomo, an 
automatic mail server) To get information about subscribing to 
a mailing list, send one of the following  one word commands in 
the body (not the subject line) of an email message to 
"majordomo@autox.team.net":

help            -to learn how to subscribe using majordomo

lists           -to get a list of currently available mailing lists

-----
How to get stuff:

A) FTP

If your machine has an internet connection, and runs the file 
transfer program FTP, you've got what you need. Read your local 
manual/help on using FTP.

Line mode ftp:
1) Run FTP on your local machine, opening a connection to
        ftp.team.net  (155.99.208.4)
2) Connect as user "anonymous" or "ftp", and use your email 
address as the password.
3) You will be in the root ftp directory (/) You will have several
   directories to chhose from.
4) You may list the files using FTP's dir or ls commands to see 
files.
5) Set the file type to binary using the binary or image command if
   you're going to get something other than plain text files.
   (Like GIF's, or programs)
6) Use get or mget to one or multiple files.
7) Exit with the bye or quit command when done.
-----
B) WWW 
   There is a WWW (World Wide Web) link to the anonymous FTP
   archives on triumph.cs.utah.edu. This is currently 
   undergoing a lot of changes.
   The URL is:

   http://www.team.net/

and the British cars pages at:
   http://www.team.net/sol/

WWW clients:
   If you aren't familiar with WWW, it is pretty darn keen, with 
links 
   to graphics viewers and sound. There are several shareware and 
   commercial Web clinets available, such as Mosaic, Cello, NetScape, 

   etc.

   There is a Windows Mosaic client available at: 
   ftp.cica.indiana.edu, and other Windows software sources.

   A Windows client called Cello and available from
   fatty.law.cornell.edu in /pub/LII/Cello.

   If you have X you can use XMosaic.  It is available from ftp.ncsa.
   uiuc.edu/WEB/xmosaic
   
   There is a Mac client for WWW called NCSA Mosaic. It is available 
at
   ftp.tidbits.com in the /pub/tidbits/tisk/mactcp/www directory.
-----
C) WAIS (Currently Unavailable)
-----
D) E-Mail server (British-cars list only)
Can't run FTP? If you can send and receive mail, you may also 
retreive
archives via an E-Mail server run by TJ Higgins. There are many more 
seperate
articles in the misc directory of this server than on Triumph.
To get instructions, send E-mail to:

   Standard Internet Addressing:  server@ingr.com
or
   UUCP Addressing:  ...!uunet!ingr!server

with /HELP in the body of the message. The server will then send you 
the
help file with further instructions. (To your From: or Reply-To: 
address).
The SOL files are in the drectory pub2/sol/misc, pub2/sol/pic, and
pub2/sol/digest.
