Dear users of the Mailing List!

I see Klaus Kusche's arguments, but since source concerning Transputers
are difficult to find I will make the following suggestion.

Why are people not putting these things onto anonymous ftp-servers. And
every one who has access to the Internet can ftp a copy. Of course a
copy on ftp servers on both sides of the Atlantic ocean would be great.

By the way there is currently a bandwidth of at least (1.5 MBit/sec Cern,
2 x 64 kBit/sec Germany, 1 x 64 kBit/sec Sweden,  1 x 64 kBit/sec UK,
1 x 64 kBit/sec, Netherlands, etc ... ) a couple on 100 kBit/sec to the 
US ArpaNet available, but there are cross connections on the European 
side missing. (Many European users can reach Cern only through a router 
in Cornell. I hope that the EC will help solve these problems in the future.)

	Best regards,
	Franz
