Yup. Hotwire is mostly in the hands of people in 14E-210.

I can send you a floppy disk or you can follow the instruction below.

Both approaches should end up with the same result. You are probably
better off doing whatever you have access to.

Instructions for getting Hotwire...
---------------------------------------------

At a DOS prompt,           type "cd c:\net\mit"
at next DOS prompt,        type "ftp bassas"
at ftp "Name" prompt,      type "anonymous"
at ftp "Password" prompt,  type your e-mail name
at "ftp>" prompt,          type "cd hotwire"
at next "ftp>" prompt,     type "get hotwire.bat"
at next "ftp>" prompt,     type "bye"

Now you have Hotwire and you can type "hotwire bassas geopac" at
a DOS prompt and then follow it's instructions.
