Last month we lost the old official FIGlet ftp site, ftp.nicoh.com,
because they went to new owners and the new owners were not willing to
host us. As a result, I had to put it on mickey.cs.uiuc.edu, an ancient
Mac IIfx, which is not that reliable.

Lester Vecsey <master@internexus.net> is an internet service provider,
and has been kind enough to offer us space. So now the new official
FIGlet ftp site is
        ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/
 
God bless,

Joan had reported problems with the old site some time ago. Now here's
the proof that she was right. :)

I changed the URL in the (ie my version of the) FAQ too.
