When I try to ftp to this site, and login as anonymous, it asks me for a 
password.  Also when I tried guest.

Are other people having similar problems?

Thanks
don

send your email address as a password, and it'll usually let you through...

Yes.  Because I do *not* support Anonymous FTP or direct TELNET access.  
The ASCII Art Bazaar is a pure Gopher site with HTML support (WWW).  In
terms of total menu items, we are one of the largest Gopher servers in
Gopherspace.

The Gopher bookmark for the ASCII Art Bazaar is:

Name=The ASCII Art Bazaar
Host=twinbrook.cis.uab.edu
Port=70
Path=asciiarc.70
Type=1

One of the (WWW) URL's is:

    gopher://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu:70/1asciiarc.70  

-Thanks

I hope this helps.

All anonymous FTP sites do this.  Enter your email address as the password,
that is all you need.  You don't even need to spell it correctly!

This would be true if my site (TWINBROOK) supported Anonymous FTP.  But 
it does not because I cannot properly log Anonymous usage. Sorry.

That's because it is *NOT* an Anonymous FTP site!  It is a Gopher/WWW site.
Check the site list in the ASCII Art FAQ for access details.  Check with
your system administrator for information on what Gopher/WWW clients are
available on your system and how to use them.

If you have never used Gopher or the World-Wide Web, you are missing the
state-of-the-art in Net navigation.  FTP is Stone Age by comparison.  In
the Internet seminar I teach, we suffer through FTP and the older services
in the morning and when we get to Gopher and the Web in the afternoon 
everyone understands why these services, as presented through their clients,
are called "THE user interfaces to the Internet."

I hope this helps and I'm sorry you are having trouble.

   Try using Gopher.  At the prompt on most InterNet systems, type:

gopher twinbrook.cis.uab.edu

   You should then get a menu.  From the menu, choose the Continium, and 
from the next menu you get, choose the ASCII Art Bazaar.  I'm going by 
memory, but I think that's it.  Someone correct this if I'm wrong.

   Becouse it's gopher, you can browse all the art you want without 
having to download it to see it.  And they've got over 5 megs.
