There is indeed confusion on what SimTel is (blame those silly name
copyright wars for this), but the number of mirrors of ftp.simtel.net is
close to that of ftp.coast.net, and it gets larger every day. So there
should be no problems with propagating DJGPP updates.
The next release of the FAQ list (soon!) will include pointers to both
ftp.simtel.net and ftp.coast.net, including all their mirror sites.
