Ah, but Brian is NOT an Internet site!  A host with a domain style address
doesn't equate to an Internet site.  A check of your nameserver will reveal
that 'anyhost.cts.com' is MX'd by 'nosc.mil' and actually is a <gasp!>
UUCP host.  Those of us on BITNET aren't really in any better shape which
is why I've inquired about Apple obtaining the archive-server software
from DEC.
