I just pulled an ftp site from a file I have been keeping since 1989. Sorry for the confusion. Just trying to be helpful. By the way, the address seems to be accuvax.nwu.edu these days. Second, I don't see how you can complain. This is as close to PD as one gets. They are not asking you for money - just to obey certain restrictions which are common in other PD packages. If you'd rather shell out $10,000 for an E-net bridge, that's your privilege. I, for one, am grateful to V.M. for what he cooked up. Moreover, I somehow can't blame him for going commercial - if you have a good product, you usually *sell* it. I will refrain from quoting the gift horse bit.
