Well, that explains my insane timeouts with FTP yesterday.  Thought I
was going nuts.  I'm on Sympatico via the U of T megabit access (I log
in with my library number instead of a b1 number) so mail is fine on
utcc.utoronto.ca, but everything else has been mad slow these last few
days.  Time to go to TFnet, methinks.
