Awhile back, I requested information regarding ftp sites that carry the
File Distribution Networks (SDS, PDN, etc.) that flow through FidoNet.  I
apologize for the delay in posting this brief summary, but major warfare
has broken out in Net 348 (sigh!) so I've been rather busy the last week
or so trying to figure out who said/did what.

Anyway, there are two sites available for anonymous ftp that carry most of
the file nets:

	halcyon.com
	zeus.ieee.org

The subdirectories for the file echos are located off of /pub/fidonet.

As well, there's a mailing list for announcements of incoming files.  Send
email to fidonet-ftp-announce-request@zeus.ieee.org to get on the list. 
(The list appears to be manually administered.  I didn't have to use a
"subscribe" command, although I'm sure my use of the word "please" helped.)
;-)

Thanks to the many people who sent me this information.  I really
appreciate it!

Chris O'Neill

P.S.  I'm still looking for FTP sites for the ADS and SKYNET (Amiga) file
nets.  Anyone who knows of a site would really make my day by sending email.
