The REAL archie.au lives!

Archie.au is meant to be an AARNet source of archive type material.
In general, it is hoped that people will go to this machine ahead
of going to overseas sites for their FTP or archie requirements.
Those using MHSnet to access this machine should use a certain amount
of sense when requesting lots of files. Don't flood your downstream 
sites.

This system which has been funded by AARNet will not only run the
archie database, but will also run the following

	+  Shadows of many popular archives
	+  Prospero
	+  Ftp<->Mail Gateway
	+  Sydney Uni's Finger Daemon
	+  MHSnet

At this stage, the machine is shadowing the following

	+  Simtel-20 PC archives		From oak.oakland.edu
	+  Garbo's PC archives			From garbo.uwasa.fi
	+  MIT's X11 Distribution		From export.lcs.mit.edu
	+  Terminator's Mac Archive
	+  RFC's 				From venera.isi.edu
	+  The latest GNU software		From prep.ai.mit.edu
	+  Kermit Distribution			From watsun.cc.columbia.edu
	+  Graphics including GIFs		From wuarchive.wustl.edu
	+  Amiga				From ab20.larc.nasa.gov
	+  The latest WAIS sources		From think.com
	+  comp.sources.unix			From gatekeeper.dec.com
	+  comp.sources.games			From ftp.uu.net
	+  comp.sources.reviewed		From ftp.uu.net
	+  comp.sources.x			From ftp.uu.net
	+  comp.sources.misc			From ftp.uu.net


The machine sits on the AARNet backbone, and in general will represent 
the best option to ftp a file from or to query archie. It has very good
connectivity to most of Australia and also good access to the US.

If you think it would be extremely beneficial to the Australian Academic
and Research Community to have something else shadowed, send mail to
