Subject:   specifying alternate sup servers?

It's not in the man page.  It's not in the README that lists alternate
servers.  sup.freebsd.org is giving me a bunch of messages like this:

SUP: Invalid message count -1
SUP: Error in receiving bin/ed/test/l.d
SUP: Upgrade of src-bin-stable aborted at Jul 24 21:17:13 1996
SUP: Aborted

and this:

SUP Fileserver 9.13 (4.3 BSD) 14373 on freefall.FreeBSD.org at 21:19:11
SUP Fileserver supports compression.
SUP Fileserver is currently busy
SUP: Will retry in 235 seconds
SUP Fileserver 9.13 (4.3 BSD) 14648 on freefall.FreeBSD.org at 21:23:06
SUP Fileserver supports compression.
SUP Fileserver is currently busy
SUP: Will retry in 416 seconds

which is just great, I'm gonna be here all night trying to get this 
upgrade through...
I don't have a bandwidth constraint here, I'm T1'd out. I've got 9 
hops (including four sluggish ones in CRL's network) between me and 
sup.freebsd.org -- I need some help, I've been at work 12 hours now 
and I'd like to go home and see my family ... :{
How _does_ one specify an alternate sup server?
