AT&T's Netlib server:

	ftp netlib.att.com

This server runs the Plan 9 operating system (not Unix).  Anonymous
ftp access is open to users inside and outside of AT&T.  Our ftp server
is new and we'ld like to know about any problems you have communicating
with it or our TCP implementation.  Please send email about problems
to postmaster@plan9.att.com.

Our ftp server has a feature (hack) copied from other sites.  To get a tar of
a directory (and all its subdirectories) append a '.tar' suffix to the
name of the directory when retrieving it.

Since intelligent ftp clients (both human and computer) don't know about
Plan 9 and would have problems parsing our directory listings, we simulate
BSD Unix 'ls' for our directory listing.  We support the 'R', 'C', 'l', 't',
and 'r' options.
