Yes, I did check out archie and found only found scotty v0.7 and tkined v0.6
on sites around here. I've already installed these and have begun using them
to layout our network map, but have encountered a few bugs in the discover
tool that prevents me from completing all of our subnets, so I would like to
get the newest version to see if it clears up these problems.
I would appreciate it if you could try sending them uuencoded to me via mail.
Mail will probably have a better chance getting it here than ftp.
