You're right that not everyone is on the Internet so the solution is to
use the e-mail servers that access wsmr-simtel20.army.mil to get the
archives. You just send mail to one of the servers and it will send
mail back to you. See comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for details. There are
regular postings in that newsgroup describing how to access simtel20 via
FTP and the mail servers.
