This is the info I got from our nameserver on 'simtel20.arpa'

Name:    WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL
Address:  26.0.0.74
Aliases:  simtel20.arpa

I believe that it is a TOPS-20 system, so the directories have the syntax
  cd <MSDOS.UTIL>
and you need to use TENEX mode for binary transfers (not likely for PS).
