I've been trying to ftp to abcfd20 lately and been completely
unsuccesful, despite the fact that I've connected there many times in the
past from this machine without a problem. It always dies the same way:
I connect, log in, and it starts to print the opening message. It gets
to the second line of the note about only posting freely redistributable
stuff, then freezes every time. No amount of waiting seems to help,
and I've tried various pseudo-random control characters, etc, to continue,
but with no luck except that a ^C will cause it to print the next line, then
stop completely. It always stops at exactly the same point and behaves
exactly the same way.

Looks like it's your FTP software that is in error. Contact your system manager of the vendor that supplies the software and have them fix it. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ ____ ___ Earle Ake /___ /___/ / / Science Applications International Corporation ____// / / /__ Dayton, Ohio ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: fac2@dayton.saic.com uucp: dayvb!fac2
