Re FTP Training:

     It has been my experience that the level of excitement during a FTP or
Telnet training session is directly proportional to the distance involved.
Prior to holding a FTP session I do an ARCHIE search for TXT files.  Capture
the session to a file and then edit out all for foreign and short files.
Leave in about 2 to 3 files per attendee.  When editing the file start it off
with the 2 character country suffix for all represented countries.

     Not only does the hand-out generate a lot of excitement it helps to
solve the "don't FTP during prime time" problem.

But when it is your prime time, there are FTP sites elsewhere in
the world where it is the middle of the night. If I use FTP in the
morning, I choose an eastern USA site, early afternoon, Western USA,
late afternoon Australia, and night time Europe. Mostly (-:
