Curtis,

Richard has a good point--but I can understand your frustration, we
created our own archive for performance and technical reasons, and have
put it on the web (we integrate it into our Web 2.0 ITSM quality
management and performance web services).

There is a web interface that allows each archive message to be accessed
anywhere by a unique permanent URL, they are listed on the messages, and
Google has most of them now.

There is a sophisticated full text search that you can use as well:
http://www.backupinsight.com/219.0.html

There are no limits (do not abuse please) to the number of messages that
you can link to this way (this is hosted by one of our clients  ;) ).

There are ATOM and RSS feeds available:
http://www.backupinsight.com/openservices/ml/rss
http://www.backupinsight.com/openservices/ml/atom

If anything is missing, please let us know--the idea behind this is to
create something useful to everyone.

If you want to integrate this into your website, please drop me a note.
We could put you on the Autonomic Services platform and you could portal
and format ADSM-L in a high-performance way using simple URL's--saving
you time.

The problem with the listserv get command is that it blocks me at

Can anyone help speed up the process?

In the big picture, what is it you are trying to accomplish?
From what Shawn found, you are attempting to create another copy of the
ADSM-L archives at www.backupcentral.com.  As noted in ADSM QuickFacts,
we already have at least four ADSM-L archive sites: is there a
compelling
reason for another?

If I can get access to the ADSM-L archive in text format, I should be
able to import it the way I did with the other two lists.  I sent a
message to the adsm.org webmaster last night and am waiting on a
reply.

ADSM.org is just a secondary list archive site - and an unresponsive one
at that.  You would be better off talking to the administrator of the
list hosting site, Marist.
