Good News: We now have a UUCP X11 archive site on the west coast again.
The X archive on Zok contains the full X11R4 distribution, the XTEST
distribution, an *entire* archive of comp.sources.x, along with many
other X11 goodies.
Zok has a TB+ modem which will connect to 19.2K, 2400, 1200 baud (in
that order). The anonymous UUCP account is UXarch with password of
Xgoodies. The modem's phone number is 408-996-8285.
A sample Systems (or L.sys) entry might be:
zok Any ACU 19200 4089968285 in:--in: UXarch word: Xgoodies
To get a current listing of the files that are available, download
the file "/usrX/ls-lR.Z".
A full subject index of the comp.sources.x files is available in the
file "/usrX/comp.sources.x/INDEX".
When downloading files with uucp, wildcards (i.e. "*") won't work. Be
sure to specify the full pathname starting with "/usrX/". For example,
uucp zok\!/usrX/ls-lR.Z \!~
(The above "\"'s are csh escapes, ignore them if you're using sh.)
Currently this modem line is Zok's only email and news connection to
the outside world. Should you wish to fetch large distributions, such
as X11R4, it would be appreciated if you would pause every now and then
so that normal UUCP traffic may continue. Thanks.
