Sean:

Another solution would allow a small web page pointing to where the files
could be freq'ed (or downloaded) from internet connected BBS's.  I can set
up a small (few Mb) web page with my current ISP, but the bulk of the files
I'd have to leave on my BBS.  We could potentially distribute the load by
mirroring the files to a number of BBS's or sites....

 BJ> I'm interested in a copy of the old Gary Gilmore's Maximus/Squish web 
 BJ> site archive.  Unfortunately, I'm not setup where I can host it as a web 
 BJ> site.  If you still have all the areas set up with 
 BJ> FILES.BBS, I could populate my BBS with the old areas, 
 BJ> which would then make them available via Telnet, VModem 
 BJ> and BinkP protocols, via either Fidonet Freq's or via 
 BJ> BBS downloads.  If you have the area descriptions in a 
 BJ> filearea.ctl format that would also help get things 
 BJ> setup quickly.  [I know I have a lot of the files 
 BJ> already, but I have relied on internet access to Gary's 
 BJ> archive for the files I haven't got on my system.]

 BJ> If you can zip it up and send it to me via a supported 
 BJ> Fidonet protocol, and then send me a netmail or 
 BJ> echomail note to look in my inbound, that would work.  
 BJ> I'm open to discussion of other methods of transfer....

 BJ> Right now I could take about 100Mb in my inbound area.  
 BJ> Once I clean out old (saved) files from the partition, 
 BJ> that should be over 1Gb.  If we setup up a password 
 BJ> protected fidonet session, I can up that to 2Gb, 
 BJ> possibly more if the software can handle larger free disk space....

 BJ> Let me know....

 BJ> Thanks.
