I just logged in: ** You are user number: 75 (of a possible 75) ** Local time is: Fri Jul 21 10:43:41 1995 [EST] Not quite 256... :-) I suppose at night that might change, but you didn't clarify that. Also, ftp.cica.indiana.edu has 2GB of disk, not 40GB+ like ftp.cdrom.com. I'm not arguing FreeBSD vs Linux, I'm just saying that ftp.cica.indiana.edu and ftp.cdrom.com are in a different class as ftp servers go. -Andrew -- ========================================================== Andrew Gillham gillham@andrews.edu LAN/WAN/Netware/Unix Analyst Resume -> http://www.cs.andrews.edu/~gillham/resume.html
