I just ran into a little problem.. looks as if
the node is either down, or not reachable (at
least from here (== Plano, Texas):
$ ping
ftp.es.embnet.org
PING bakalao.cnb.uam.es (150.244.80.6): 56 data bytes
^C
--- bakalao.cnb.uam.es ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
$ ftp
ftp.es.embnet.org
[2 minutes later]
^C$
generated an ISO from the raw CD and am copying
now the CD
contents to disk, which are being made available as
ftp://ftp.es.embnet.org/pub/misc/TUHS/sprite
and
ftp://ftp.es.embnet.org/pub/misc/TUHS/sprite.iso
as the copying is done. Beware, it is ~530MB.
This goes for both my machine at home, and here at work.
Now,
www.es.embnet.org responds fairly fast, so I don't
think that it's the wire across the big pond. Any
ideas?
TNX!

Cornelius
