FSP: connectionless ftp

At tsx-11.mit.edu and ftp.icce.rug.nl the package fsp.2.7.1a.tar.gz is
available. Fsp implements a connectionless ftp, which is normally more
gentle to the server. Several sites support connectionless ftp-transfers:
sites that support it usually have files like .FSP_CONTENT in their
(anonymously accessible) directories.

The uploaded package is not a new product, but a result of multiple hacks.
Much work was done by Karel Kubat (as far as I can tell) to get it running
under Linux, and I did some work to get the server available.

fsp is now supported by our anonymous ftp-sites (and so: fsp-sites):
ftp.icce.rug.nl and beatrix.icce.rug.nl. The former computer is now running
linux, the latter will shut down for public access in the near future (and is
not running linux (:-)).

Questions or remarks about this package will, as much as possible, be answered
by {frank,[email-masked]
