 At ftp://ftp.lineo.com/ and at ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/ .... yes
But not at ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/
nor at ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/

All you'll get at either of those is the 'README' file.(no dir listing)
In order to get the DR-DOS v7.03 download itself, you'll need the entire
ftp address.... ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/dr703.exe

For those members using screen readers....
(notice that everything after the .com is case sensitive)
(all of it is lower case except DR-DOS which is upper case)
