I know their address is >pro-beagle.cts.com, but when I try to FTP to that address, the mainframe tells >me, "Unknown host." What gives? ALL of the Pro-Lines are UUCP hosts (not on the Internet). As others have already pointed out MANY hosts which have domain style addresses aren't connected to the Internet and don't support FTP. The way to tell is to query your nameserver and see if the host has an "A record" (with a numerical address). Alas, we can't get the proffered Beagle Brothers software via ftp (or server either). Nice thought though. /s Murph [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
