Subject: can't ftp from karazm

sorry to bother you all with this. I have been trying to access the
archives at karazm.math.uh.edu via anonymous ftp without success.

The symptoms are that execution of commands lags behind their being given.
Hence, for example, I might have to enter:

ftp> pwd
ftp> dir
ftp> dir

before I get told what directory I am in. Needless to say, this wreaks
havoc when I try to transfer any files. I emailed people at karazm
about this last year but have not provoked a response yet.

In case it makes a difference I am using the guestftp service from
London (uk.ac.nsf.sun) to connect to the ftp site as I don't think I
can connect directly onto the internet from here.

A solution to this problem would be most appreciated. Alternatively,
pointers to another site that mirrors the karazm archives would
probably solve the problem as well.

thanks,
Jonathan Chin
