Going to www.adsm.org allows us to conveniently search the list archives.
However, that service is unavailable from time to time.  If you need to
research info when that is unavailable, you can go to the official ADSM-L
list server to pull back info via email and FTP, as follows:

        The ADSM-L list is archived by LISTSERV on a monthly basis; and as the
        month proceeds, the current month's file is accumulating and can be
        retrieved in its "thus far" state.  You can get a list of what's there
        by doing:
                mail LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU
                        with the body of the mail containing "index adsm-l".
                        That will provide a list of the available files.

        Individual files have time-sequenced names, in "ADSM-L LOGyymm"
        format, such as "ADSM-L LOG9808" for August, 1998 and "ADSM-L LOG0002"
        for February, 2000.
        Retrieve each by doing:
                mail LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU
                        with the body of the mail containing
                         "get adsm-l <FileType>", as in "get adsm-l LOG9907".

        You can also get them via FTP from ftp://vm.marist.edu/academ:adsm-l./
        These logs are by month, beginning with Sept. 1993 when the list was
        created.  Some of them are pretty large, so be sure to have enough disk
        space.
