Yes, it's a new host.  They're shutting down the old TOP-20 system at
CU20B.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU in a few weeks and the whole Kermit distribution
has been moved to CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a Unix host.  Hopefully this
will speed things up for FTP jobs.  Don't forget, most files in the
Kermit distribution are ASCII, not binary.
