I have been trying to ftp into WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for a *LONG*
time now -- averaging about five or six times a week.  I have yet
to get in.  I keep getting the message:
    TOO MANY ANONYMOUS USERS
Does *anyone* have any idea what the anonymous user limit is?
Is this a common problem or am I one of a pre-ordained few that
cannot get in?
Is there an alternative to using ftp to get into SIMTEL?

There's all these goodies I hear about on SIMTEL, and j-u-s-t out
of reach.   AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH.


Thanks for your responses.  At your discretion, please either EMAIL
