So I discovered that I can still ftp to my World account, even if I can't telnet in. Went in and grabbed everything from my main directory other than the mailspool. I'll still be peeved if I can't scoop up the mail before I close the account, but at least I've got the other stuff.

If you're looking for a replacement shell account, I can recommend my current provider, JTAN. SSH (no telnet), FTP, web space (with CGI), generous disk space, sane people, $99/year. If you sign up using this link I get a small kickback (something like $5?), but that's not why I'm recommending them (and that's also why I made a point of giving the "plain" URL). I've been using them for four years (since my previous provider became unreasonable) and am very satisfied.
