Sandy Z. has the Tex source on his bbs at 714-898-8634.  I don't think
there is any "support" other than the source there, but it's free and
Sandy has lots of other source on it also.

Channel One BBS at 617-354-7077 had a lot of TeX stuff on it last time I
called (source for Pat M's CTeX, executables for the MSDOS versions, fonts,
tfms, sty's, macros, etc).  It also has a discussion area for TeX.  Someone
used to upload the TeX Hax and other info from usenet to it, I don't know
if they still do or not.  It's a "pay" system, but as I recall wasn't too
expensive and they let you log in and look around for free.

I've also heard that there is a "West Coast TeX" bbs,  but I've never found
the number.
