there is in fact a much simpler problem in archive access from europe,
in that our mail to SIMTEL20 goes via seismo.css.gov.  Rick has taken the
(entierly reasonable in my view) attitude that archive access is an
expensive business, and it costs him to forward such requests ---
not on the trans-atlantic link --- it is 'well known' that we the 
recipients pay for that, but rather on the US internal links, and
we are being caught by the error trap that he has set up for that.
