I'd like to use that site.  However the the rzsz.tar which I d/l from
the ports at freeBSD.com go to the cs....edu  site when it tries to
fetch the port distribution while doing the make.

I read the handbook and see nothing about forcing the make to fetch
from a particular site.

If there is a way, I'd appreciate hearing it.
