One question. Why can't ASSET offer anonymous ftp like the rest
of the civilized net world? Oh I remember, ASSETT is funded by
the government. It has a duty to remain as innefficient as other
government beauracracies...
This is disgusting...

Too much hassle to access your repository ==> doomed for failure.
These government beauracracies just don't get it. Ease of use is
the key. Oh, and btw, don't forget to advertise that 800 modem number we
all pay for with our tax dollars... 800 modem lines in this day and age
of internet access??? doubley-disgusting ...
But, hey, have fun at Tri-Ada on our nickel...
