[comp.sys.ibm.pc] What happened to simtel20?

128a-2hy@web-2b.berkeley.edu (03/25/91)

There used to be an ftp site called simtel20.arpa, which had tons
of ms-dos goodies maintained by Keith Petersen (I think).  Does
that machine still exist?  Ftp can no longer reach it.  Has some
other site taken on the repository?  I see that a subset of it
is on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu (thanks, folks), but there is nowhere
near as much stuff there.  Thanks...

It's name is now wsmr-simtel20.army.mil.  That might make a difference
when trying to find it.
