David,
The address is NETSERV at EBI.AC.UK (the bitnet address was phased out some
years ago).
This was a supplied as a sequence alignment rather than an original sequence
submission. DS6748 is not a nucleotide databadse accession number.
You can get it from our anonymous FTP server ftp.ebi.ac.uk in the file
pub/databases/embl/align/ds6748.dat or by e-mail to Netserv at ebi.ac.uk with the
command:
GET ALIGN:DS6748.DAT

Regards,
Peter Stoehr
EMBL - EBI
