Computer Science Department, Ames, IA Lines: 87 I'm just a tiny cog in the vast machine of Apollo sites, but I've made my share of squeaks in the past. I'd like to thank all Apollo folks for past and hopefully future support provided to net users. I really think this is the way to go.

I got ZERO response from anyone/anything at Apollo. The offer still stands, but I consider the ball to be in Apollo's court. In conjunction with comp.virus/VIRUS-L, we have established a number of archive sites throughout the world. These support various computers as well as holding back issues, documentation and tech reports. This past summer we added a number of sites to support Unix virus/worm/security issues. The archives include the Internet Worm reports, Sun patch tapes, various security fixes, etc. The "getting together" phase was just being wrapped up at the end of summer. Before the sites could be coordinated or filled with goodies, the academic year began. Traffic amongst the site coordinators lately has been low. The structure is there, but things haven't really taken off yet. I generally coordinate all the archives, but actively "head" the IBMPC sites. I don't have the time to dive into the Unix stuff as I would like to. Chris Myers has volunteered to head up the Unix archives. I'll include the current list of sites. Anyone with interest in this is invited to contact Chris or myself. Another contact would be Ken van Wyk, moderator of comp.virus/VIRUS-L. His job is with the Computer Emergency Response Team at CMU, and he would like to see comp.virus expand to include more Unix related discussion. (He's currently away for a few weeks, so be patient.)
