The reason for this is that the InterNet gang finally deactivated the
old Arpanet addresses (and MilNet ones, too, I think).  The SIMTEL20
machine/site still exists and has lots of goodies.  Try
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (that's the current InterNet address) - I don't
know the InterNet node number address, but then again, you shouldn't
need it.

And some forward into the 80s, at least!  Please.  :-)

Regards.
