ftp archives disappearing?

And just recently discovered a Linux tool called uvlan that looks like it would do a similar job and require much less config. The thing putting me off setting up some kind of peering point is that I only have ADSL connections. But then ye olde VAXen would have had 9.6K links in places. Although I guess if literally bridging ethernet between sites would need to be careful of broadcasts. I also need to get to grips with OSI / DECnet Phase V area routing. Would be nice to be able to play around with this stuff though, and properly use the X.400 MTA & X.500 DSA you get licensed via OpenVMS Hobbyist. Andrew
