I'm maintaining an A/UX archive on wuarchive.wustl.edu. Currently it
only contains the GNU ports that I and David Berry have done; I'm
planning to start carrying a copy of every package posted to or pointed
at by postings on comp.unix.aux Real Soon Now. There is an Incoming
directory for uploads and I encourage everyone to use it.

Apple does have a machine for A/UX support: aux.support.apple.com. It
looks like it's set up to do exactly what you want: uucp or ftp, archives
of comp.unix.aux, pd software, and Apple's fixes to A/UX. However, it
also looks like it's just getting set up. When it gets fully up and
running, I'll mirror its contents on wuarchive.
