I am a usenet/internet user from outside the USA and thanks to another user
have got a listing of whats on the ab20 archive.I have tried to use the ftp
mail server "FTPMAIL@DECWRL.DEC.COM" but I have recieved no reply from
it.What I mean by no reply is that when I sent a "DIR" command to it for
ab20,it sent me mail saying that my request was on the queue and to expect it
in a day or so.After a day,I recieved more mail from it but this time with a
copy of the ftp transaction as well as the listing of the root of ab20.Then I
sent to FTPMAIL a script to get some binarys (about 1 megs worth) and have
been waiting for any reply for 2 weeks.Have I exceeded a limit on gets or is
it something else ? 

Please could anybody help me.

BTW I have checked my script 10^10^10^10 (an exaggeration) times and have
found no fault with it.Here is a copy of it for you to check:
