G'Day all,

I just tried to ftp to ftp.uu.net (to have a look at the BSD
networking sorces) and got this:

	coombs:~/ [153] ftp ftp.uu.net
	Connected to uunet.UU.NET.
	530- UUNET's archives are on ftp.uu.net, not uunet.uu.net.  Please
	530- retry using the proper hostname.  The old cname for ftp.uu.net
	530- should have timed out from all nameservers.
	530 Access denied.

Asside: I regularly ftp to places and discover that they can't map my
IP back to a hostname, too.

How can I find out if this is this a local ANU problem, a national
problem or an international problem? I need to know which God to pray
to :-)
