Interestingly enough - I guess you guys missed all the hubbub as we started
just such a database the last quarter of 91!

telnet charlie.secs.csun.edu 5742
or

telnet 130.166.2.150 5742

Type help for a list of commands.  There are over 2300 packages listed
and the telnetter can add new packages as they are found.  Contact
mrs@charlie.secs.csun.edu (Mike Stump) for more info.
