What's a good alternative anonymous FTP site for ibm-pc stuff besides
SIMTEL20?  I find its very hard to get a connection there.  Either the
connection times out or there are too many anonymous users.  When I do
manage to get a connection its very slow and often seems to die
halfway through a transfer.

I was under the impression that there were some sites that kept copies of
the SIMTEL20 archives but I can't seem to find them.  Any suggestions?
