From hch@NCTUCCCA.edu.tw Tue Sep 8 21:06:25 EET 1992 Article: 5431 of comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives From: hch@NCTUCCCA.edu.tw (Huang Chih-Hsien) Subject: NCTUCCCA.edu.tw Anonymous FTP Archives Announcement Organization: Campus Computer Communication Association(CCCA), NCTU, Taiwan Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1992 16:08:13 GMT Lines: 156 Campus Computer Communication Association NCTUCCCA.edu.tw National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan 140.111.3.21 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NCTUCCCA.edu.tw Anonymous FTP Archives Announcement Sep. 9, 1992 1. OVERVIEW Internet in Taiwan (mainly Taiwan Academic Network, TANet) is growing every month. There are a dozen of anonymous FTP servers around the island, I believe. However, almost all of them are UNIX- oriented sites, and none with a large collection of PC software. That reminds me of the urgent need of a PC-software-oriented anonymous FTP site in Taiwan, especially when our link to US has been heavily overloaded, and repeated transferring PC software from some well- arrangement sites, such as SIMTEL20, garbo, CICA, does occupy considerable bandwidth. 1.1. Official Mirror Site of PC MSDOS Archives NCTUCCCA.edu.tw (140.111.3.21) is the official mirror site of PC MSDOS archives at WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil, Garbo.Uwasa.Fi and Ftp.CICA.Indiana.Edu in Taiwan. Other mirror sites around the world are: SIMTEL20.Army.Mil: OAK.Oakland.Edu (141.210.10.117) (192.88.110.20) wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9) nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.3.7) nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) archie.au (139.130.4.6) Ftp.CICA.Indiana.Edu: wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) (129.79.20.84) gandalf.umcs.maine.edu (130.111.112.21) grind.isca.uiowa.edu (128.255.19.233) vmsa.technion.ac.il (132.68.7.2) nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) funet.fu.net monu6.cc.monash.edu.au src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1) 1.2. Usenet Archives NCTUCCCA also make articles from some newsgroups available via anonymous FTP. In fact, NCTUCCCA is the only site you can retrieve TW hierarchy and NCTU hierarchy usenet articles so far, and please remember some of the articles are in Chinese BIG5. You have to view them under any BIG5 text viewer, or Chinese system like ETen. 1.3. Local Collection Local collection are available in /Chinese and /NCTU. In /Chinese, MOE-chinese-pub is mirroring from moers2.edu.tw (140.111.2.22). In /NCTU, only NCTU hierarchy usenet articles available. It is small now, however, will play a important role in the future though. 1.4. Techreports Some techreports are available at NCTUCCCA. Most of them are computer-related. And they are copied from the original site after being announced. 1.5. Graphics Graphic stuff is in /graphics, including GIF pictures, JPEG pictures and some graphic utilities. 2. GETTING FILES 2.1.
