    I have been trying to FTP the latest T release from zurich.ai.mit.edu,
    and have not yet managed to transfer a single byte of any file.
    (I can successfully do a "dir" on small directories, but not in
    /u3/t/documentation/{unix,manual}.)

    It has been suggested to me that this is probably due to zurich running
    an old version of TCP, which works poorly with the heavily-loaded net.

    Is T available on some other machine please?  Or can you suggest
    another route (other than mag tape!).

Try prep:/t/*.tar.Z, which are compressed tar files.  * is one of
sources, vax_unix, sun, or hp.  The only problem is that file names in
the sources tree are truncated to 14 characters.
