We've a T1 to the T3 backbone, so mirroring the archie stuff I have isn't 
a problem (from my end).

I'll provide the scripts and the glue etc to do the mirroring and indexing to
whoever wants to do it.  

**** I'd really like to see a few more waised archie servers out there ****
Why?  Well, mostly mercenary self-interest (archive.orst.edu is the campus 
news server too) + redundancy.  Takes 600 Mb to do it properly (if you have
400Mb main memory you could get away with 450 Mb disk space 8) ).
