Everytime I try to ftp cica.edu, I get kicked out because it's
overloaded (at max number of users).  Everytime I try to ftp
cdrom.com, I get in.  Hum... which system would you rather use?
I don't know what the cica.edu hardware is, but cdrom.com must
be doing something right!  (I am a linux user but look forward
to trying FreeBSD).
