Subject: [opendos] Mirrors needed...

I am sure that Caldera has learned a great deal from the first 
release of OpenDOS, not the least of which is the HUGE demand for an 
alternative DOS.

I hope that Caldera is setting up ftp mirrors this time - at least 
with ftp, you can recover an aborted download ( with the right ftp 
client and server ).

To this end, Caldera could use a form at the end of their license 
agreement (which, to be sure, has been updated, or will be).  The 
form could include fields for the users real name, e-mail address, 
and smail address, and could have the option of sending an e-mail to 
the user providing a username/password for ftp access, or directly 
downloading from a web site.

Of course, this is just an idea.

Jim
