The note that the paper was no longer accessible at the USC link was surprising.
Even more surprising was this note on a USC CS site: https://www.cs.usc.edu/research/technical-reports/ Technical Reports The Department of Computer Science no longer publishes technical reports to this website. All CS faculty and students should consider using a reputable computer science research archive to publish their reports. We recommend: arXiv Computer Science A digital archive of all past reports previously hosted by the department will be made available in the near future. And another page from the IT Services saying they were retiring their web hosting server because, after all, Wordpress is available. On the basis of only a bit of research, the paper was indeed a USC technical report, it is still available at http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.45.5118&rep=rep1&type=pdf, and the citeseerx sites says it was previously available at ftp://ftp.usc.edu/pub/csinfo/tech-reports/papers/95-603.ps.Z. The ftp site still exists and answers pings, but does not answer ftp. (It is a cname to the previously mentioned about to be retired web hosting server.) A university abandoning publication of its research and, at least right now, not even sustaining the archive of its former publications.
