I got the info below using a gopher server:

                                MEDLINE
 
TELNET MEDLARS.NLM.NIH.GOV or 130.14.10.200
 
Account needed to access MEDLINE.
 
The following is a list of services provided by the National Library of
Medicine:
 
   MEDLINE     Provides access to the MEDLINE Library Service.
   TSO         Provides access to the MEDLARS Library Service.
   PROFS       Provides access to E-MAIL Service.
 
For assistance please Call NLM Customer Service: 703-555-1212
 
Information about establishing an account can be obtained from the
Grateful Med BBS at 800-525-5756 or by calling the MEDLARS Management
Section at the National Library of Medicine at 800-638-8480.
 
E-mail help for establishing accounts and answering questions may be
available at gmhelp at gmedserv.nlm.nih.gov.
