[Freegis-list] Bad link/Server mis-configured

[Roderick A. Anderson]

I have been trying for several days to access Bruce Perens FTP site but
either get site not available or can't get into the correct directory.
   I'd like to look at the data he has or ... find a good source for US
data - mapping stuff.  So far all the US Government sites have been 
busts. 'EarthExplorer.usgs.gov' uses Java applets which don't appear to
work correctly with Netscape 4.61.
   This then leads me to ask for some suggestions of data sources that
are download-able/order-able (reasonably priced).  I'm working on some
free (mapping) projects so cost _is_ an issue.

I'd prefer either Shape files (since I'll be using PostGIS which has an
import/conversion utility) or some other ASCII formatted files that I
can load into PostgreSQL/PostGIS.


TIA,
Rod
