config.tel. I haven't been able to move any other files, because of
diskette errors; I was hoping to finish the job by FTP. However, FTP
hangs. This is version 2.3.08; could it have anything to do with path
MTU discovery being enabled in Linux? What else might be wrong?
By the way, Clarkston U seems not to have an FTP server any more.
