I believe we're doing it the right way; I have (under construction) a mail-based archive server which not only limits volume, but will audit the address requesting the data. The qualifications are that we will send a large file in response to a request from someone if their return address is 1 hop from us (i.e., a direct connection) 1 hop from uunet (i.e., requester picks up the tab) on the internet everyone else gets a 'sorry charlie' response for files over the limit, which I'm currently inclined to make around a few Kb, like three or four. When we have it running and debugged, the server code will be available for anonymous ftp. Don't hold your breath. - Brian
