TAP in the old form does not exist anymore. The last person responsible for its publication was Cheshire Catalyst (Richard Cheshire). Many people paid for his food while they thought they would still get issues. There have been a couple of attempts at making a 'new tap', but none of them captured the spirit of the old (I think at least). The current TAP comes out of Kentucky (P.O. Box 20264, Louisville, KY 40220 to be precise). Rop Gonggrijp (ropg@ooc.uva.nl) is also editor of Hack-Tic (hack/phreak mag.)
