I've gotten a number of responses by e-mail saying, "gee, it works for me".
After a lot of fooling about I figured out that if you use the numbers above
you connect to the wrong machine.  (And, given something odd about the local
FTP name server, using the name above doen't always work either here.)
The machine you actually want is bigmax.ulowell.edu.  Anyway, thanks,
everyone, and you can stop writing to me now.  I've got my Wolf 3D.
