I made the same decision by following suit.  We have Telix 3.12a
files as
  /pc/pd2/tlx312a1.zip
  /pc/pd2/tlx312a2.zip
  /pc/pd2/tlx312a3.zip

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send
prerecorded instructions on request.  (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply, and you wouldn't
be able to utilize the mail server anyway.)
