- 14400 bps isn't poking along, but the transmission rate I observed at
- 0830 hours was .062k/second, which *is* kinda slow. Patience is

-
- It appears that some anomaly files are there; I managed to grab about
- 2/3rds of the ls-lR.Z before giving up in frustration, so I don't know
- all of what's there yet. I'll try again later.
