However, you are directed to see your local ftp guru or peruse documentation available online at the nic. marty /* ---------- */ Then where does the discussion belong? The guidelines provided in the most recent edition of the recurring publication "List of Active Newsgroups" in mod.newslists says that this is a UNIX* neophytes group. I agree that one should look at the documentation, what documentation there is... I'm not satisfied with the documentation. I can see where someone who isn't familiar with ipc might not understand what it does. Someone wrote in here a while back something like "I'm on a uucp-only site...can I ftp to someplace like??" I think that this is a reasonable question, which the documentation *should* answer in non-computerese, but doesn't. kurt "socket: EHOSTUNREACH"
