	Indeed.  That's the trouble/curse of the Internet - it's not possible
	to go around and fix/change all the references to names that change
	as companies get bought/sold

	That was a long long (quad_t? ;)) time ago.   GTE sold their
	Government Systems Corporation ('gsc') to General Dynamics several
	years ago.   After a while GTE of course insisted we stop using
	'gtegsc' - then a little later GTE became Verizon.

	Try "ftp.to.gd-es.com"

	For now.   The idjits in charge are playing
	at reorganizing and I think sometime next year the domain name will
	change yet again - but the hope is that the current name will
	be retained for a while as a compatibility measure.

> Steve, are you continuing the work described in the file? And can you get

	It's been a slow couple years - only a couple updates done last
	year and only one or so this year.    Current patchlevel's at 442
	(done Jan 2002).

	Yes, the archive of updates is maintained.   I think there are a
	couple mirrors but I have no accurate count of who is mirroring
	the directory

Try ftp://ftp.2bsd.com/pub/2.11BSD

And I'll update the README!

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Folks, I've got a question here.
What happened to the ftp site mentioned in this Readme file? I'll post it
here, in its entirety, with the reference in question highlighted. Quoted
Readme there:
"The directories 2.9BSD and 2.11BSD contain these UNIX distributions, and "
"were supplied by Steven Schultz. They contain a full distribution,
including "
"installation tape images.
"
"
"
"The remaining gzipped tar files are other 2BSD distributions supplied by"
"Keith Bostic, except for spencer_2bsd.tar.gz which came from Henry
Spencer."
"They do not contain installation tape images. The 2.9BSD-Patch directory"
"contains patches to 2.9BSD dated August 85, and again supplied by Keith
Bostic."
"
"
"Note that Steven Schultz is still maintaining 2.11BSD, fixing bugs and
making"
"improvements. The patches required to bring this archive version of
2.11BSD"
"up to the current patch level can be obtained via anonymous ftp to"
"ftp.iipo.gtegsc.com in the directory /pub/2.11BSD"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have tried connecting to it, and my client tells me it does not exist. But
I've seen Steve's message, on my earlier question, so I know he's here.
Steve, are you continuing the work described in the file? And can you get
back to me, via a private message. Warren both replies are valid.

P.S. Thanks to everyone for getting back to me so quickly on that issue
regarding our old friend, and the historical items here.
