Thanks for posting that historical stuff -- if I ever get time to look
through my floppy disk archives I might find something about it too.
;-)

Did you try accessing that ftp.dec.com site? I suspected it would be
as dead as DEC now, but out of curiosity I tried.

It still resolves to an IP number (204.123.2.25) but WS_FTP failed to
connect. Tried PING, but it simply timed out.

So it is dead but still in at least some of the DNS lists?

Cheers, Phred.
