	I also am having problems ftp'ing from the New Xanth -- namely,
the host table here never heard of "abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov".  I have
noticed that messages referring to other sites include a "number address"
(example: 128.174.5.59 for ux1.cso.uiuc.edu) that always works.  However,
I have never seen such an address listed for the "new Xanth" referred to
in the above, and several other, messages.  Could someone please either
e-mail me this address, or (if other people need it too) post a message
giving the address?  It would be very much appreciated.  If there is a
general way for finding out the "number address" given the "name address",
I would very much like to know that as well.

	Also, I have not been able to find Fred Fish Disks #351-370 on any
system that I can access -- any pointers would be most welcome.

	If "reply" fails for whatever reason, my mail address is:

			esalbert@scubed.scubed.com

	Thanks very much in advance.

PS: I hope this is not one of those "new user questions" that everyone hates,
but I have really not seen the answer anywhere on the net.
