I am a usenet/internet user from outside the USA and thanks to another user have got a listing of whats on the ab20 archive.I have tried to use the ftp mail server "FTPMAIL@DECWRL.DEC.COM" but I have recieved no reply from it.What I mean by no reply is that when I sent a "DIR" command to it for ab20,it sent me mail saying that my request was on the queue and to expect it in a day or so.After a day,I recieved more mail from it but this time with a copy of the ftp transaction as well as the listing of the root of ab20.Then I sent to FTPMAIL a script to get some binarys (about 1 megs worth) and have been waiting for any reply for 2 weeks.Have I exceeded a limit on gets or is it something else ? Please could anybody help me. BTW I have checked my script 10^10^10^10 (an exaggeration) times and have found no fault with it. Thanks in advance, Myron :-)
