a strange note...

[Mike Sheldon]

Ah, I get it.

This is YOUR ftp client telling you what the remote system (server) is
running. And yes, with a microsoft ftp server version of 5.0, that would
definitely be win2k

\_ Where did it say that?

\_ I just ftp'd there, and it didn't say anything about the OS.

This is more inline with what I was thinking....  I can't say it's
suprising that an FTP server @ M$ is running (or claims to be running)
w2k.

Open source...alter the greeting string on <insert fav ftpd server here>
compile, install on ftp.microsoft.com...
