Sorry for the delay in responding to this problem. I just expected someone
else to post this solution.

While I admit that ftping from Japan, Australia, or even Texas is very
exciting. I do have problems using those network resources for training
purposes.  Since the training I've done & will do is on using the Mac for
ftp (Fetch makes it so easy, I'm almost ashamed to say I'm doing training).
My students are excited to see that they can easily transfer files from
their mac to the local unix fost and back again using ftp.

These people don't necessarily need to ftp to Hong Kong. They are very
happy to ftp to $HOME. The use of your own local resources solves a variety
of problems and meets the need for supervised hands on experience.
