Last Sunday I successfully downloaded Micro Emacs from simtel20.arpa. When I went to ftp the documentation, the network became unreachable. It has been that way from Albany since. Has anyone been able to connect to them since the weekend? Micro Emacs looks like a nice package. Jim Mower, Dept. of Geography and Regional Planning jem97@leah.albany.edu

I finished an FTP download from SIMTEL20 at about 1735 on 11/4/87, and it seemed to be working fine. One of the things that I have noticed is that there are a limited number of ports into SIMTEL20; if they are all busy, you'll get a 'connection refused' message from FTP. If the problem seems to be with the network translation of the hostname to addresses, try using SIMTEL20's node number: ftp 26.0.0.74 instead of 'simtel20.arpa'. -- Sean Malloy {hplabs!hp-sdd, akgua, sdcsvax, nosc}!crash!malloy ARPA: crash!malloy@nosc Naval Personnel Research and Development Center San Diego, CA 92152-6800 UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd, akgua, sdcsvax}!nprdc!malloy ARPA: malloy@nprdc
