One thing I did notice, when I was checking out the incoming
directory of Sunsite.unc.edu, I was simultainusly using
regular FTP to sunsite, and trying out Alex to Sunsite as well..

What I found was, that on alex, the incoming was the incoming of
a few days ago, whereas on the REAL ftp, the files had long ago been moved
and new files were there.

So, is this the cache not reading the new directory? or some glitch?
