Thanks so much for the many quick responses. Thanks go to

maris@dogs.sun.swh.lv
peter@jrc.nl
ulla@dmi.min.dk
Gary.Richardson@proteon.com
poffen@San-Jose.ate.slb.com
jdschn@dilbert.monsanto.com
root@wisdom.maf.nasa.gov
chris@cwi.net
mcirit@eng.adaptec.com
(and any other responses which are enroute)

I was aware of the sunsolve1 site. However, I am not registered there and only
have access to the public patches. This is mainly because our corporate
firewall gives us problems with accessing some sites which require logins and
we occassionally get DNS problems which make the sunsolve server unavailable
to us. So, I was looking for some alternative sites that I could access via
ftp (or even http) that were just as good. And luckily, you guys provided the
information to me.

Many thanks to those who were willing to send me the patches or allow me
access to them.

As a side note, I will continue to accept any emails or correspondance
regarding sites that contain patches, which I dont have listed here and
if anyone needs it at anytime in the future feel free to email me
(greg.harrison@analog.com) and I will supply the most current list that I
have.

And the results were...<insert drum roll here>
------------------------------------------------

Site to check for patches:
-----------------------------------------
http://sunsite.kth.se/sun/sun-fixes
http://www.fenk.wau.nl/pub/unix/sun-fixes
http://sunsolve1.sun.com (official sunsolve site)

ftp://ugle.unit.no:/pub/unix/sun-fixes (this site is pretty darn thorough)

That's all I have received so far. If you find any, set up any, or know of
any sites which I missed, send them to me and I will add them to the list for
future reference. Maybe I will post them periodically somewhere as the list
grows..

Thanks again
-Greg Harrison
