UUCP sites don't have IP numbers.

>Just what *is* cts.com anyway?

'cts' = Crash Time Shareing.  In reality, pro-lines aren't even UUCP hosts
in the usual sense (UUCP = Unix-Unix CoPy and pro-lines aren't running
UNIX -- most of them are //e's :-)  'crash' is a UNIX box and UUCP backbone
host (owned and operated by Bill Blue, who unless my memory's gone completely
off the edge wrote the original ASCII Express commware for the ][+).
'crash' also is the gateway for 'pnet' (people net), and 'pnet' hosts gateway
for the pro-lines.

MORAL: domain addresses don't equate to a host running TCP/IP, and no
IP number means no 'ftp' capability.
