Thanks to everyone who responded re: ref.tfs.com's ip address.

But,  I simply can not connect to it.

I can set the server under nslookup to tfs.com.

I can then query ip addresses.  This makes me beleive that I am IPing ok
to there.  I can not telnet or ftp to tfs.com.  I get connection refused.
I get timeout on the connection to  ref.tfs.com.

Has anyone else had problems?  I think we are on the wrong side of something
here.

Any ideas?
