The /mirrors directory has everything that simtel does. This site has 3 big advantages over simtel. First, simtel's user limit is at 100% nearly all the time, so you can't get in...I've never gotten a refused connection from wustl. Second, (at least from my site) the connection to wustl is a higher speed line than to simtel, so file retrievals take about 10-25% of the time that it takes to get them from simtel. And Third, you don't have to fight the TOPS-20 directory structure system (i.e. 'cd' works the way you would expect it to...) The files you want should be in /mirrors/msdos/uucp. Good luck! L.
