Good news:

Looks like the routing problem that prevented many outside .engr
to access linus is now fixed.

Peace, Ariel

Ive been able to rftp to it, and Ive now surf'ed to it but Im still
having a hard time getting mirror to work to it.

Has anyone been able to get "mirror" work via socks through our
firewall?

I would like to mirror linus.linux on an internal SGI, linux.detroit,
which is currntly up and running.
