See a screenshot I made of links failing to do ftp at one of the Slack 4.0 
mirrors linked to 
from the BL site at http://cmiller.sdf-us.org/links-ftp.png . Incidentally, 
all of the 1st 4 
ftp sites on that list give me this same error. The Utah one works, as does 
the Russian one 
following. I've seen that same error message at other (than Slack) ftp sites, 
btw. I have 
been assuming that newer ftp servers are doing something this older version 
of links is not 
prepared to deal with. But that's just my poorly-informed guess. Someone with 
more geek 
factor on this list (Steven? David? Lee?) should be able to figure out the 
real answer.

PS I converted this screenshot from ppm (the one qemu's screendump facility 
uses) to png 
after which it came in at only 6kb. But I was unsure whether I could (or 
should) send an 
attachment of even such small size to the list.
