I have tried to check Simtel20 with ping from our site, and have an
autoftp running which also gives me some indication of the Simtel20
status.  It seems that Simtel20 has been unreachable for the last
three days, at least from my corner of the net.  Just stand
patiently by.  Connection problems or maintanence occasionally occur
at all sites.  (We've certainly have had our share at uwasa.fi of
downs.)
