I don't how often you others on the net login into SIMTEL via anonymous ftp.
I have tried for the last two weeks at all times during the day and night
including a try just last night at 4am, and it ALWAYS tells me that there are
too many anonymous-ftp users and try again later; well, I did, with no avail.

Anyway to get to the point; if you are using a UNIX system and need alot of
the archives from the news groups here, try wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4)
they never seem too busy after 9pm...

If you are still unable to locate good X/Y/Z Modem protocol transfer programs,
I have the source for rzsz that I can post here if I get enough mail..
