It seems to me that we need another mirror here in Australia for 386BSD.  I 
find that the 0.1-ports is not mirrored at all, and if I want to go back to
get any of the 0.1 distribution at kirk.bu.oz.au, the times are pathetic.
Is there any chance we could get the distribution mirrored on archie.au ?
What do the other Australian users of 386BSD think ?  Also the documentation
on mirrors that I do have (admittedly 17 Mar 92) states that ftp.ee.mu.oz.au
is a mirror.  That would have been ideal for users close to the Australian
Gateway (munnari), but doesn't seem to mirror 386BSD (or Linux for that matter)
any more.
