I am really sorry to hear that.  My RQP/M and half the users in my area
rely upon my simtel20 downloads.  Unfortunately, being on a LOW student budget,
I cannot afford any LD phone calls or PCP.  The only two boards that are bigger
than my 50M storage are pretty clogged up, and babysitting time for 1200
baud even if I can get through is a drag.  At least with the Sun, I can FTP
in one window while doing REAL work in the other.....

Well, I can't say I blame you.  Just let us know when and where the CP/M
section becomes available again.  I just hope it is something I can reach
from here.....
