   This is in regards to grape.ecs.clarkson.edu archives.  Lately it has been
   really difficult to get into this machine because too many people are trying
   to get files from it at the same time.

This is true.  I recently (Friday) added code to prohibit new
connections if there were already too many (>30) connections.  Before
I added this code, NOS used to run out of memory.

I made the same decision that Keith Petersen did on Simtel20.  It's
better to provide good service to a few people than to provide unusably
bad service to everyone.
