[comp.os.cpm] Problem with Simtel20?

GTI@PSUVM.BITNET (Leon Geesey) (11/08/87)

I was wondering if i was doing something wrong. Saturday Night i was
trying to anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20. But kept getting the Error
LOGIN INCORRECT. I was Answering ANONYMOUS and GUEST to the prompts
for UserID and PAssward. Was I doing something wrong or is something
busted at SIMTEL20?

There was a problem on SIMTEL20 Saturday night with ANONYMOUS ftp
logins.  It has been fixed.

The system has been going through some changes in the past week.  It
now has more memory and the network server has a higher priority (both
of which have made a great improvement in response time).  Later this
week we will be doubling the disk storage space available.

Please bear with us if there are some problems during this transition.

   Speaking of SIMTEL20 problems... I have not been able to get
to simtel20 for the past month now.  The most common problem
is simtel20's ftp processor is not responding after I am
connected, or sometimes I would get connection timed-out error.
   Last week I read that ARPANET is having some work done to
it to improve access and communications between sites but I
am not sure if this is the problem.
