ftp archives disappearing?

It's back online and can still be accessed via that address or the now more proper ftp://ftp.avanthar.com . Of course there isn't a whole lot of use on the site, and never has been, but there are a couple of gems. My problem is that running an anonymous ftp site and having it properly configured so that it can't be misused, and it doesn't effect my ability to connect to FTP sites out on the net from my internal network is a resource drain. I think it was close to 6 years ago I archived a lot of the PDP-11 related stuff out there on FTP sites, as well as PDP-8, Dec Professional, and DECmate software. At the time my big problem was storing the stuff. I split it up so that it would fit on CD-R's. I really should try to update the archive and rebuild it as DVD's, but there is that pesky "real life" and to many other things to do. I've not made any of these available as a mirror, in part because I simply don't have the bandwidth. Zane -- | Zane H.
