After silence from the UMLUG list, I checked out the contact page on the UMOSS site.
http://mirror.umoss.org/contact/ I emailed the listed address, [email protected], but, after 3 days of trying, gmail says it is unable to deliver the message. So, unless I hear otherwise from someone, I'm going to assume that the UMOSS site is no longer being actively maintained. For anyone interested, the following was the message gmail gave me about the failure to deliver the email: "Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 452 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system storage (state 13)."
