Given the bandwidth required, and the hassles dealing with anti-social
weenourheads using *.au servers as "far away servers" to collide from,
there is unlikely to be either.

My server  (ircserver.cltr.uq.oz.au) which was connected to jello etc etc
was down when jello died. Hence there was rather a vacuum when it /died.
The machine my server ran on is still dead, but the server has been
resurrected, albeit on a different machine.  The server has always called
itself host itself "ircserver.cltr.uq.oz.au", so that's what people should
have in their ircII.servers file, $IRCSERVER variable etc etc.

Unlike the above undernet server, ircserver.cltr.uq.oz.au is not connected
to any other servers, but it's there for those who for whatever reason
aren't enamoured with the undernet.
