actually, what happened is that the EpochServ software that manages
the optical disk jukebox on which the FTP site depends decided to 
take an extended vacation.  (to be fair, it might be a bad platter
or something.  i don't know.)

these problems are usually cleared up pretty quickly; this time it
seems to be taking longer.  epoch systems tech support had logged 
in to see what was going on but i don't know what the upshot of 
that was, so i don't know what the ETR is.  it still seems to be
down, though.

i don't know why the "max users" message is being displayed instead
of something more informative.  that i can fix.
