See whether something like "ftp 130.207.7.21" works. You probably need to fill in your ISP's name servers in /etc/resolv.conf, something like the following. The addresses could be wrong, though. ----- domain wave.ca nameserver 24.113.32.2 nameserver 24.112.32.2 ----- -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always." -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
