In order to FTP to SIMTEL, you must enter the following command to access
SIMTEL:
	$ FTP simtel20.army.mil

Enter ANONYMOUS and your id for the USERNAME and PASSWORD, respectively, when
prompted.

To change to the MS-DOS directory, enter the following to change directories:
	CD PD:<MSDOS>

If you are looking for a particular directory, you can easily request for a
list of all the directories via MAIL.  Enter the following message to
LISTSERV at RPIECS:
	/PDDIR PD:<MSDOS>

The list will take a few minutes to be sent to you.  While in FTP, to change
to a sub-directory, such as, MODEMS, enter the following command:
	CD PD:<MSDOS.MODEMS>

To look at a directory, just enter DIR.  Enter HELP for help.

Hope this was enough to quench your thirst for information.
