combination as of today. Many of the new browsers are no longer
recognizing the ftp://ftp
combination, including the new Netscape 6. I found this out myself
recently when upgrading Netscape.

Hi! Just wanted to share some information on the National USGenConnect
Archives and USGenConnect Board situation that I recently found out and
thought perhaps inquiring minds would want to know ...
National USGenWeb Archives
Apparently, the fttp:// address is not working, but if you replace the
first fttp:// with http:// it works... This may just be a temporary
situation, read the emails below...

Ask them to change the url to
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb and it
should work.
We might have to edit all our tocs and use
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/ to
avoid this problem.

It's not absolutely, positively necessary "yet". <g> I've been
changing
some over gradually, as a page is updated. In the daily-uploads reports,
I have been using
http://ftp for a few months, and it cut down on a lot
of complaints.
The ftp://ftp address should work soon, though; so no need to panic. ;)
Second, USGenConnect Boards hard drive died that had the February 2001
info on it, they are still trying to get the archived messages for
February back up and running and will announce on the USGenConnect List
as the situation develops...
Hope this helps resolve some of the questions your CCs might have...
