There is a lot of unused capacity at cvsup5, which is a pro/200, fast/wide disks and DS1 connectivity (carrying all collections.) JDP was looking at shuffling it up in the mirrors hierarchy anyways, but if you want to point cvsup.freebsd.org at it temporarily you are welcome to. The machine is managed for maximum uptime and has only been down twice for short intervals since becoming a mirror. If you want to do this, let me know and I will bump up maxclients until cvsup is back. -Chris On Sun, 9 Mar 1997, Jordan K.
