The funny (or bad) news is, Peter can't use this version, because FTP
to any.where.oz.au from Europe goes via the US, and as soon as a DES
bit enters the US it may not get out again, no matter if it is
encapsulated in an IP packet or not.

If I remember correctly, we in Munich have a copy at least of a des
library (I think posted from Finland, and transferred there by direct
phone dialup from Australia, so it even might be the same library, and
just lets hope phone lines do not touch the US anywhere [hmm ... what
if the call was relayed by an US telecomm sattelite???]).

... BUT ... FTP from Austria to Munich is via the US, too ... :((
