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.
