what are you trying to do with ftp.uu.net? is it broken in some way?

is it possibly that no login info works on it?

Hi,

If i remember right, Verizon Business has 3 or 4 different help desks.  From my experience, none of the help desks know anything about the others.  I dont have any numbers off hand unfortunately.

Apologies for the noise, but I have been absolutely unable -- despite literally *hours* of trying --to contact anyone at _any_ of the published Verizon Business phone numbers who has any comprehension of what I am talking about -- to wit:

 "I am looking for someone with _any_ awareness/knowledge of Verizon   Business's public-access anonymous FTP server, with the hostname   'ftp.uu.net'."

The published Verizon Business technical contact number -- both in 'whois' for uu.net, and Jared's NOC contact list is only the 'ticket center', and won't open a ticket for someone who is not Verizon customer.

"Customer service" doesn't know what 'ftp' is, and vacillates between thinking it is a circuit problem, or  that I am having a problem with -my- domain.

Call-transfer to 'technical support' was answered by someone handling 'delinquent payments'.  Another transfer attempt ended up on somebody's cell phone.
