The Canadian X Source Depot is just about organized enough to get running.
One problem I have though is how to get the stuff now in contrib on
expo.mit.edu. I have the last ``official'' release of the contributor's tape
and everything that has been posted (twm, awm, etc) but I haven't got
things like Siemanns Tiled Window Manager. "We will not make tapes, ftp
it only" (sigh)

I am exploring telebit access to uunet (we have telebits) and X.25
access as well (we have a micom pad).

Does anyone have any suggestions? 

I was recently sent a package called CLUE as a btoa image of a compressed
tar image of the source.
