I'm keeping a mirror of the nic.funet.fi and tsx.mit.edu files at
ftp.math.ksu.edu in /pub/linux/. I tar'd the files in the tsx/binaries
and tsx/sources directories for ease of downloading and put them in
/pub/linux/tsx_tar_files/. These two files will enable you to get most
of the distribution; you will still need to get the /pub/tsx/INSTALL
/pub/tsx/patches etc...
These tar files exclude all directories with OLD distribution files.
Note also that they do contain symbolic links to other directories not
included in the tar files. binaries.tar and sources.tar are both
around 4.8Mb, compressing does not help.
BTW, version 1.1 of poe's init is in /pub/linux/misc/poeigl-1.1.tar.Z.
