Hmm, guess I spoke too soon :-(  Here is a sample of I'm now getting from
sup2.freebsd.org:

SUP Upgrade of ports-cad-current at Wed Dec 13 23:58:05 1995
SUP Fileserver supports compression.
SUP: Read error on network: Connection reset by peer
SUP: Network write timed out
SUP: Error reading file list from file server
SUP: Upgrade of ports-cad-current aborted at Dec 14 00:07:56 1995
SUP: Network write timed out
SUP: Aborted

So, I guess it really isn't any better.
