They must not be NFS mounted, because chris was waiting to get some more
drive space before starting the mirror.

How about UUCP? I'd love for them to give (or sell) me a dial-up login,
but it won't happen until (maybe not even if) I enroll in a class or
two. :-( NFS has got to be faster than waiting for their phone lines to
clear. Maybe one of the other local colleges would be a good try...

Not for me... I'd rather run the ethernet cable down Hampton Avenue,
through Forest Park and right to their building. :-) Too bad it's a
couple of miles away. :-( Maybe the new owners will move the station a
little closer... :-)
