It seems to be offline right now.

That would be the whole "it seems to be offline" thing...

BTW, ssh will never ever work - we were told that shell access will not be 
allowed.

That might affect rsync too, I forget which protocol systems it uses.

None available anyway.

They are already integrated.  Given the popularity of PDTs with vendors and 
users, we should not be thinking of doing anything more with them at this stage 
in my opinion.

See the schedule and plan agreed at the WG5 meeting.  Unless this is "another 
scheme" that is really**7 simple, we should not be thinking about it.  We can 
start  thinking about "wart identification and removal".
