Not just you. At Essex we have the same problem. I think it is JANET wide.
I managed to get some stuff from uk.ac.ic.doc.src (via the PAD) but it is very
out of date.
People keep mentioning interim stuff at mcc.ftp. Is this Manchester Computing
Centre in England?? If so, it is not registered in the Janet database. I
mailed the postmaster but haven't had any reply yet.
Please, can somebody make stuff available to us in the UK. Imperial college
doesn't have 0.96 yet. the nsf.sun relay is hopeless. I can't get through
to nic.funet.fi. banjo.concert.net it has never heard of. Please can we
have some internet numbers or better yet a place in the UK that we can pad to.
Thanks
Steve Fisher
