This address is wrong.  You should query the domain name system for the
correct address.  Those of you with static host tables are running seriously
broken software if you want to interoperate on the DARPA/NSF Internet these
days.

While I'm at it, could I ask you guys to try to limit your FTP access to
trantor.umd.edu to off hours?  We actually do try to get real work done on
this machine.
