Summary: I tried to get this information with no luck.  This is a new plea.

I'll second that.  Good luck trying to find out how to get to Houston.  I have 
asked the same question twice over the past 2 months and have gotten no
responce.

Again, I have suggested this within the past month, and was met with stony
silence on the idea.  I think this exchange, while cumbersome at first, is
a good idea.  I'm happy to see someone else bring it up.  Michal Jaegermann
and I can't be the only people in the world who can't get to Houston.  How many
have this deficiency?  Speak up!  If the need proves to be widespread, then at
the very least the writers might send copies of their useful work to BOTH
Houston and Canada.  
	Also, let's not forget the other, smaller servers.
server@uk.ac.bradford.eleceng.marvin is out there in england, but can't mail
back to me and so is probably inaccessible to many others as well.  In 
addition I just read of a new server netlib@lakesys.  These and any others
should also be included in the file swapping.  
	Let's work toward full software accessibility!
