- I think Jeff Hanson already answered the ftp question (I definately
- need to read comp.sys.sgi more often :-). In addition to
- swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov, it should also be available anyplace

- As for reading the CD over the network, it doesn't do it. It might be

- audio hardware (ie. 4D/35 or Indigo).
