No problem, I'd be happy to host the classiccomputer (transputer) website you mentioned. Just drop me an email to west(a)tseinc.com (and also cc jlwest(a)tseinc.com) with the particulars you need. I'll take care of it for you, no charge. Ok, here's a shameless plug, but hey, it's for a free service to you folks... To re-iterate for the rest of the list (hopefully no one is too sick of hearing it, but I'm repeating it for the newbies), I own an ISP. No, we're not a hole in the wall outfit run out of a basement, or just some guy with a (YUCK) xDSL connection. We have a real datacenter with FM-200, it sits on two separate power grids to the city, 7.5gw of backup diesel power, and a huge ups to carry through the switchover to generator in the event both city grids fail. It's a secure site with video survellience, biometric access controls, etc. and our backbone connectivity has to be seen to be believed. We're fortunate to have our datacenter in the same building that all the backbone providers do, so we only pay for bandwidth and port charges to backbone providers, no "large" latency hops through DSx's and routers. For those technogeeks interested, all our gear is cisco 7206VXR routers, HP Procurve 4000M switches (the network is totally switched 100mb ethernet, with gigabit fiber between all switches), and virtually every service (pop, smtp, http, ntp, nntp, ftp, etc.) is handled by separate server farms (with the exception of the machine that hosts the classiccmp majordomo list, it runs on one of our mailservers). No machine runs multiple services and every machine has an automated failover system in the event that machine fails. We are a Unix shop, so all the machines run FreeBSD (except about 10 or 12 servers that run Win2K (Double YUCK) for ASP services). What I'm getting at is that if you have your classiccmp-related site hosted by us, you can be sure of excellent bandwidth and first tier reliability, at zero cost. Ok, if someone sends me some HP 7900A or 7920 drives, that would be nice :) If anyone has a website or ftp site (or mailing list, etc. etc.) that is classiccmp related, just drop me a line and we'll take care of it no charge.
