- I tried this and found that the directories are soft-links
- (as stated in the file in the directory). This means you
- can't access these files from anonymous FTP. You can however
- use the Mail server that is described in the doc/Infosheet
- document in the Minix direcotry.
- I hope this helps, I'm new to this group
