If you're interested, I could set up and ssh/ftp account on our
webserver here at the university computer club, to host info-newt.
The server is a regular linux box with apache/php/python/perl etc.
We already host various other sites, such as the back2roots amiga
archives, Planet Sinclair, Acorn/BBC, local astronomy clubs, various
bands etc.
All for free ofcourse. :)
