+ 
+ 27.  What is "anonymous ftp"?
+ 
+      "FTP" stands for File Transfer Protocol; on many systems, it's
+      also the name of a user-level program that implements that
+      protocol.  This program allows a user to transfer files to and
+      from a remote network site, provided that network site is
+      reachable via the DARPA Internet or a similar facility.  (Ftp is
+      also usable on many local-area networks.)
+ 
+      "Anonymous FTP" indicates that a user may log into the remote
+      system as user "anonymous" with an arbitrary password.  A common
+      convention is that some sort of identification is supplied as the
+      password, e.g. "mumble@foo".  This is sometimes useful to those
+      sites that track ftp usage.
+ 
+ 28.  What is UUNET?
+ 
+      UUNET is a non-profit communications service designed to provide
+      access to USENET news, mail, and various source archives at low
+      cost by obtaining volume discounts.  Charges are calculated to
+      recover costs.  The Usenix Association is currently funding the
+      UUNET project on an experimental basis.
