  there are a few places in europe and australia (that I know of)
  where you can get isode via anonymous ftp; if you're desperate, try:

    brolga.cc.uq.oz.au             
    ditmela.mel.dit.csiro.au       
    freja.diku.dk                    
    iraun1.ira.uka.de                 
    sics.se                          

  unfortunately, the only local (north-american) source I was aware of 
  doesn't have it anymore.  There *must* be an anonymous ftp source out 
  there which is not in europe or southeast asia.  i'd be interested, too,
  especially in the VMS implementation.  (so far i have not copied it from
  overseas because i dont want to be a nethog).  I've been trying to get 
  the physicists here excited about standards, and isode for VMS and UNIX
  would be really helpful.

  thanks
