Looking for Callsign server

[MCDONALD, ROBERT ALLAN]

Hello,
Message-ID: <22FEB199...@pavo.concordia.ca>
Organization: Concordia University
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

I am trying to get onto one of the 2 call sign servers via telnet however I
am having some problems. The 2 servers that I am referring to are:
- callsign.cs.buffalo.edu 2000 and
- plan9.njit.edu 2000
However when I type $Telnet callsign.cs.buffalo.edu 2000 I don't get connected
if anyone knows if there is another server or if my syntax is incorrect I would
appreciate it if you could E-Mail me and let me know how to get connected.

I am on a Vax ????/VMS.

As well does anyone know if there is a similar server (database) maintained
by DOC (Canada) which can be accessed through Internet.

Thank you in advance.

Robert-

I've had some problems with callsign.cs.buffalo.edu 2000, but there is an
alternate address. I usually get through from the local VAX, using
electra.cs.buffalo.edu 2000.

I just tried the buffalo server, typing telnet callsign.cs.buffalo.edu 2000
and it worked just fine.

Have you successfully telneted to other places? (Your post does not say.)
If not, perhaps you need to talk to your local gurus and learn how.
If yes, then have you successfully telneted to specific port numbers
at other places? (Your post does not say.) If not, then that, too,
is something you need to study. (Perhaps you have an online manual
that may be gotten by typing man telnet.)

Good luck.
