I can't access this ftp server, for some reason.  It always tells
me that my email address is invalid.  Following is an example of
one attempt (dftp is the local ftp program here):

$ dftp 129.26.8.90
Connected to tcp!192.20.239.129!1219.
220 gmdzi FTP server (Version 5.71 Wed Feb 19 11:12:03 MET 1992) ready.
