Proftpd question

[Jayson Smith]

Go to either ftp://jaybird.no-ip.info/dectalk or
http://jaybird.no-ip.info/dectalk.  There you will find a mirror of the
unofficial Dectalk archive.  This is just that, a mirror.  The actual
archive is at http://andrelouis.com/dectalk, and is not available via ftp
from that site.  There's a text file in the top level directory which gives
instructions if you wish to upload your own material to the archive.  My
mirror is updated automatically between 3:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M. Eastern time
each day via a Cron script.  Enjoy!
Jayson.
