Hi Scott-

Thanks.  Yeah, I was able to get in last night also (see my post).  But
today:

[ogri@hellokitty ogri]$ ncftp redhat.newaol.com
NcFTP 3.0.3 (April 15, 2001) by Mike Gleason (ncftp@ncftp.com).
Connecting to redhat.newaol.com...
ftp28t2.newaol.com FTP server (SunOS 5.8) ready.
User anonymous access denied.
Sleeping 7 seconds...        

So maybe they've disabled anonymous logins during peak hours?  No big
deal, its a good mirror and I'll modify my usage accordingly.
