- All that is well and good, BUT the original poster is in Singapore. The
- (800) number might not be a useable possibility for him.
-
- He rightly asked for an alternate ftp site that also carries the USR
- SDL's.
-
- I support both Channel1 and Exec-PC both of which are BBS's and allow me
- access via telnet and I just download via zmodem whatever I need. They
- both do carry whatever the other users upload and that does include the
- USR SDL's and alot of other goodies. But this requires accounts with
- them. Something this particular original poster does not have.
- So any anonymous ftp sites that also carry the USR SDL's is what is
- needed to answer this individuals request.
