Dear Ange / Sandy:
I was attempting to write file to tsx-11.mit.edu via our secure
gateway (bnrgate). This will use the gateway facilities (with no
shared NFS directory).
I got the following error:
Signalling: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil)

I had done a "find-file" on the remote file, and then I inserted the
local data I wanted saved to it, and then did a save-buffer. The
remote file did not exist before I attempted this.

=======================================================================
Bnrgate has been seeing unusually heavy usage recently. Users often
cannot telnet to bnrgate because all the telnet ports are in use.
Bnrgate does not have the capacity to increase the number of telnet
ports, so we must address the problem cooperatively. Please follow
these recommendations:
1. Logon to bnrgate, do what you need to do, and logoff immediately.
Others need to use the limited number of telnet ports.
2. Don't use multiple sessions on bnrgate. Each one uses up a scarce
telnet port.
3. If the task you want to perform on bnrgate is not related to your
job, please don't do it during working hours (8AM-5PM, Mon-Fri). In
particular, telnetting to "freenet.carleton.ca" (aka 134.117.1.25)
during working hours is strongly discouraged.

230-unusual problems, please report them via e-mail to ftp-bugs@tsx-11.mit.edu.
230-If you do have problems, please try using a dash (-) as the first character
230-of your password -- this will turn off the continuation messages that may

230-supposed to send back the entire contents of that directry as a
230-compressed tar file) doesn't work. Either .tar alone, or .Z alone
230-(when applied to a files) works, however. I'm working on it.

230-If you find something on TSX-11 which doesn't work, or which you
230-believe is obselete, please send mail to ftp-linux@TSX-11.MIT.EDU.
