EFS 1.6 bug: ftp server under MVS

To whom it may concern:

   I just discovered another ftp daemon not recognized by efs.
   The site in question is accessed frequently by people working
   in high energy physics for doing a literature database search,
   (people telnet to an account with a restricted shell, and then
    ftp the output file) so I think getting this server supported by 
   efs would by useful to me and my colleagues.
   I am willing to assist in testing the relevant software adaptions,
   and perhaps able to write a part of the required functions in elisp
   myself.


				Mit besten Gruessen,
