I think Dan's mad at me.  pobox is there, koobera is there, but it
won't admit that any of those files exist.  'Course, maybe Dan's
redefined the FTP?  Yup, that's exactly what he did; my usual WWW
client wants a directory listing and he won't give it.  Netscape works
randomly.  Check out this transcript from ncftp:

Trying to connect to koobera.math.uic.edu...
Hi there! This is anonftpd.
Hi. No need to log in; I'm an anonymous ftp server.

I guess actually it's not just me, Dan's mad at the world.
