We too are at the mercy of a dead floppy drive.  I could probably
find one in DEC's internal used-equipment database, but it's not
worth the bother.  I'm trying to arm-wrestle someone into connecting
our GOES clock to an ULTRIX box running xtnp3, which would make everyone
(including Dr. Fuzzball himself) happier than if we tried to revive
the poor little fuzzy.

At some point, the new host will probably find itself with the alias
"clepsydra.dec.com", and possibly even the same IP address.  But don't
hold your breath; it's not a technical problem, and it's not a political
problem, it's just lack of time.
