Is anyone out there interested in seeing another archive site start up? I've been asked to find out. The configuration would start out as 4 gigabytes devoted to public domain software and archives of the major source and binary groups. Depending on the interests and needs of the net community, this would grow. The initial interface would be via ftp, but mail server and uucp are possibilities. I've also been asked to find out if archive servers/sites in general cause problems for network adminstrators. Do sites like Simtel20 and wuarchive.wustl.edu (just to name two) cause heavy network loads that adminstrators would rather not see. Please send all replies and questions to stroup@cs.wmich.edu
