It would be great if you could set up a ftp site just for  64/128.
Personally I would like to see the following in the site:

1. a directory like /pub/term where the terminal programs can be
   found.

2. a dir. like /pub/util where utility programs like LYNX, ARC, 
   LADS, etc can be found.

3. a section where a digest of frequently asked questions on
   HARDWARE can be found e.g., "Can my BI-80 do...", "What
   disk drive is good for...",  "Where can I get a RS232
   interface "

4. a section where a digest of frequently asked questions on
    SOFTWARE can be found e.g., "How can I make KERMIT do..."
    "Can I use WTERMITE to...",  "What can I do with the
     xxx menu in GEOS"

Just a bunch of un-organised thoughts !  /:-)
