It's a very popular limited resource, you know, and the main ticket seems to be getting on in the dead of night. It's in the Mountain time zone, I believe, so you might try getting up at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. your time. The probability of getting connected between 0700 and 2400 CDT on business days is next to nil, I've found. A couple years ago, things were much easier, but the service has succeeded very well (and thanks to Keith and simtel20, btw), and demand clearly exceeds supply. ==Jess Anderson===Academic Computing Center=====Univ.
