  I too access the Simtel20 archives via listserv@vm1.nodack.edu (this
  is the only way I can do it ... no FTP or anything else).  I am
  able to get files from the PD1:<*> directories, but I CAN NOT get
  anything from the PD2:<*> or the PD3:<*> directories.  Does this
  server need to be updated?
