        I'm  a  new  user  of USENET,  as well  as  a  novice  at 
computing  in general.   But for the last two months (Since  KVUE 
became  a  USENET station) I have read  several  articles  making 
reference to SIMTEL20, and the software that is available there. 

        My questions are these: 

                Is SIMTEL20 a public access BBS? 
                How does one go about getting access to it? 
                What is the phone number? 

        I  have  one  other question as well.   There  have  been 
several  articles  which have made reference to  a  CP/M  mailing 
list.  How would I go about being added to the list? 

        I  am a television producer in Austin,  Texas,  and use a 
portable Zorba 8-bit CP/M machine quite a lot at both home and on 
the  road.   My  general  applications are  word  processing  and 
telecommunications.   Thank you in advance  for  your  assistance 
in this matter.

Summary: 

The only access to SIMTEL20 is via ARPANET (and MILNET).  As a result, the
majority of USENET people have no way.
If you are an ARPANET novice, ask your guru about anonymous ftp.
