Due to gateway problems at MIT, it appears to be impossible at the
moment to FTP edist.tar (or edist.tar.Z) from PREP.AI.MIT.EDU.  I've
been trying off and on for weeks, and in every case transfers have been
prematurely terminated.

SIMTEL-20 provides edist.tar, but not edist.tar.Z, and is on MILNET
rather than ARPAnet.  I'm at the end of a VDH ARPAnet link at < 9600
baud, and don't want to tie up the link for the half day getting it
from SIMTEL-20 would take.

Given that some sites do in fact need complete distributions of the
current GNU Emacs distribution and can't make do with deltas, are there
any kind souls directly connected to the ARPAnet (preferably at 56Kb)
who can make edist-17.64.tar.Z available for anonymous ftp?
