This means, in particular, that data cannot be retrieved over the Internet and that instead, one has to dial up the GenBank server directly (too expensive from East Coast) or use SprintNet (never tried this before). It would be nice if disk space was set aside for temporary files (like files that can exist for no more than an hour) that could be created and ftp'd by anonymous users.
