Hey, here's a couple hints for ya.
AFAIK, the Victoria Freenet uses the same software as the Vancouver Freenet
which I used to use (look for posts on dejanews from val...@vcn.bc.ca and
kor...@vcn.bc.ca:), and the local Prince George Freenet now also uses that
software... the mail program should have an option to upload a text file as
your message. And/or, a good terminal program should have the option to send
a text file (upload using "ascii") - it'll just stuff a text file into the
modem buffer and let the freenet sort it out. <G> Either one usually works
pretty good.

On the old PG Freenet software, there was also another option. A "line
editor" of sorts. This was the best place to do an ASCII send of a text
file, as it took raw input, and could handle blank lines- it was terminated
by you typing an @ on a blank line at the end.

If you can't find anything like what I've mentioned, ask one of the system
volunteers.
