questions about GNU and FSF and their software can be asked of
	gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu 

prep.ai.mit.edu is definitely there for anonymous ftp, user
`anonymous' passwd `YOUR_LOGIN_NAME'.  Make sure you transfer in
binary mode.  The command to use on most Unixes is `ftp'.  `man ftp'
for details.

Marv:

you should have your system administrator find out why you can get to
prep.ai.mit.edu (use ping, traceroute, talking to your regional
network staff et al).
