    In Symbolics 3600 Zwei in Release 6.0, IP-TCP 29.0, AISite 9.0,
    microcode TMC5-MIC 319, on Lisp Machine Jimi Hendrix:

    I was DIRED'ing my directory on su-csli via TCP.  I typed "E" on a line
    containing a directory.  It read the directory as a file.

I expect this means that SU-CSLI didn't tell it that the thing in question
was a directory.  Probably the TCP FTP protocol, which is pretty dumb, doesn't
provide any way to convey that information.  The Lisp machine can only know
what the foreign host tells it.
