Dear Miranda

I'm sorry you're having problems reaching the Oxford Text Archive. We're not
accessible directly via FTP (neither are most UK academic computing sites)
but you should be able to mail to us at the address you cite.

Maybe your mailer hasn't been told how to send mail to JANET? (get your local
comms person to talk to postmaster@Ukacrl.bitnet if this is the case).

Following this note is the standard background info about the Archive.
Incidentally, we have just produced a new printed version of our catalogue,
which is available by good old fashioned post, free of charge while stocks
last. Send us a note of your name and address if you'd like one.
