I think it's a good idea.

I can make them available on www.mfltd.co.uk 24 hours a day, if you're
interested -- I administrate the machine, so it's not a problem :-)

I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment, but I can try to help.

I believe someone has a list of all of these.  Chris Lam, perhaps ?

Again, I can make ftp.mfltd.co.uk available for this, if it's useful.  We
have a 64K leased line connection via Pipex, which we're looking at upgrading
to 128K, so it'll be a good deal faster than your 14.4K modem.
