What was once called SimTel is now called Coast (it's a long and 
disgusting story involving people making their lifes miserable over 
rights to call ftp sites by certain names).

The DJGPP directory on the old SimTel, aka new Coast, is not ``actively 
updated'' (read: not updated at all) anymore.  The new SimTel repository 
is at ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp; here are the mirrors in UK 
(from the latest FAQ, but you can't get the latest FAQ without knowing 
where to get it ;-):

London, England:
     sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk, directory /packages/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp

Lancaster, England:
     micros.hensa.ac.uk, directory /pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp

London, England:
     ftp.demon.co.uk, directory /pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp

Liverpool, England:
     ftp.mersinet.co.uk, directory /pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp

The DJGPP directory is maintained by DJ Delorie, so don't bother to 
search for the src.doc maintainer.
