Questions about FTP mirroring and access to appropriate software should
be directed to me, or do an Archie search on the keyword "mirror."

For those without FTP access (and only those without FTP access,
please), there is an FTP mail server at ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (IP
16.1.0.1).  Send the word "HELP" to this address for more information.

Additional documents on Usenet and other newsgroups may be obtained
from pit-manager.mit.edu (IP 18.172.1.127) via anonymous FTP or via
mail server (send the word "HELP" to mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu).

The American Radio Relay League has recently made available a
mail-server to distribute many of their informational documents in
electronic form.  Send E-mail to info@arrl.org with "HELP" in the
message body for more information.

Thanks to Devon Bowen, KA2NRC, for providing diskspace and maintaining
these valuable archives, as well as all the authors who wrote and submitted
the information contained in them.
