- One "German" site for this code is ftp.uni-duisburg.de in
- /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patches/os-bs134.uu (extract from c.u.bsd).
- Admitted, this site *is* slow, but not because of sloppy management here,
- but because of the gateway 'Germany.Eu.Net' which is constantly overloaded.
- If you find Germany.eu.net in your traceroute, go buying a coffee in Colombia.
