Often I find sup.netbsd.org (sun-lamp.pc.cs.cmu.edu) unavailable.
When I do a traceroute, it stops one hop before sun-lamp itself, so
I assume this is a problem with the machine going down and not with
the net between here and Carnegie Mellon. This is *very* irritating
because I have a 9600 bps PPP connection, and it has gone down
several times *in the middle of sup transfers*.

What's up with this? Will it be fixed soon? And is there an alternate
sup server I could be using to get the latest -current sources?

Thank you.
