I wouldn't have said there were many sites migrating to TCP/IP though. Most of us are heading for OSI as soon as possible. I thought the amount of IP tunneling on JANET was quite small. Even as it is, it is possible to FTAM to the Internet from my box. >Well, in the UK there are quite a few; let's say half a dozen at least, >and maybe as much as a dozen. Anonymous FTAM is far less convenient >(it's currently strictly offline, spooled, batch) than FTP, but at >least the user is is the much more convenient "guest" rather than >"anonymous" :-). This is simply not true. You can use the ISODE FTAM implementation which does I pretty good emulation of the Berkeley Internet ftp. It is the Blue Book NIFTP which is batched. Cheers, -- \/ato.
