Well, well, well. Same happened to me at ftp.lip6.fr. If I browse,
the /pub/hamradio/f6fbb/distrib/linux-src directory no longer exists.
If I attempt to use wget, it says "wrong password", so it seems it is
there, hidden, or I would get some other message.
I got xfbb700g23 and g25 from there, and I was looking for g26, but
this time "Open Sesame !" didn't work.
Can someone clarify the changes ??

PS: In spite of the frustrating difficulties of the moment, I advise
you to stick to FBB. I have been sysoping FBB for 5 years (JNOS as
well), and co-sysop for some other three years before, and I prefer
FBB for forwarding and JNOS for TCPIP. FBB can resume, and use
filters and servers. JNOS works very well, I like it, but for fwd
FBB is more efficient. For SMTP, FTP, etc, I prefer JNOS. I find them
complementary somehow, every one has points in which the other is
stronger and viceversa. I believe thay make a good pair, and not
really adversaries.
They did under DOS, and keep on doing under Linux. I only miss the
nice DosFBB interface. TNT sort of achieves a prettier interface,
but is not up to par FBB as BBS, at least, yet.
