I have been informed that some of you may need the IP number
for kfps-roble6-dynamic.stanford.edu to access it.  Well, the
site for some reason "floats around" so getting that particular
day's number is sort of hit & miss.  The base number is
36.80.0.138.  But the number can be any number between
36.80.0.138 and 36.80.0.162 (or so).  When I ftp to 
kfps-roble6-dynamic.stanford.edu it automatically tries to
connect me to 36.80.0.138, then if that fails it tries
36.80.0.139, and keeps trying consecutive numbers until it
finally arrives at the number du jour.  If often goes up into
the 36.80.0.160's before it connects.

So if you have to use a number--good luck!
