OCLC Internet Access

[everett <everett@CHS.ORG>]

OCLC may now be accessed from the Internet, as described in OCLC Technical
Bulletin 203, "OCLC Internet Acess."  One may get into the OCLC database
using either OCLC's software or a commerically available communications
program.

Following the instructions in the publication, I successfully logged on to
the system using QL2FAX, configured to emulate a VT 100 terminal.

Bulletin 203 is available as an ASCII file.  Send a message to
listproc@oclc.org and put in the message get tb/txt 203.txt.  I assume this
available only to OCLC clients.
