[daip] Fwd: Problem obtaining binary copy of AIPS for MacOSX.

[Keith Feggans]

Hello,

We attempted the binary installation as indicated. However, the connection
to the AIPS download server times-out.

See the line below:
rsync: failed to connect to ftp.aoc.nrao.edu: Operation timed out

Any ideas on what we are doing wrong would be appreciated,
Keith Feggans
