Heh, perhaps they're running NT servers. Funny story: one of Mancheater
UMIST's mail servers thinks it's the year 100. My friend, who was trying
to send mail to someone there, emailed the postmaster, and the reply was
(paraphrasing), "That's an NT box, so as a UNIX admin I just sit back and
laugh". Somebody obviously hasn't been keeping up to date with their
service packs ;)

(Hazy memory) Jason Clifford, Definite Linux?? Rings some bells at my end,
