ABSTRACT:

     There is plethora of materials available on the Internet
including software which can be used in the teaching of
mathematics. The Mathematics Archives has provided many of these
materials for those who access to the Internet via anonymous ftp,
gopher or World-Wide-Web.  Recently, a mail server has been set
up on the Mathematics Archives so that those who only have access
to the Internet through an e-mail account can now retrieve these
materials.  This will be a discussion on how the mail server can
be utilized to obtain these materials and the types of materials
available. Tools to utilize this system from MSDOS computers will
be made available to those who bring along a 3 1/2" floppy.
