- That's a little inaccurate, Jon!
-
- I use Imperial College via JANET 'coloured book' software (hhcp) all he time
- and it is working fine for me! I've just pulled up Linux SLS 0.98pl5
- recently using "hhcp" over JANET and it worked like clockwork.

- Lee McLoughlin <lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk> runs the archive, and I help him
- with the Linux and Minix areas.
-
- You could also get Linux from hensa.micros (was lancs.pdsoft) but Lee is
- mirroring the funet and tsx-11 archive at src.doc.ic.ac.uk (ic.doc.src on
- JANET). Try mail to ftpmail@ic.doc.src or make an X29 call to that site.
-
- Things have been re-arranged recently and the Linux area is now in:
-
- /public/computing/operating-systems/Linux
-
- There have been problems with the proposed 1024 byte X25 packets on
- JANET causing some sites to be inaccessible recently so your site may
- have been unable to contact Imperial.
