i noticed that the cornell website has this online, and emailed a contact there to see if they'd give it to us.  here's the reply (minus names/email addresses, since this is a public forum:

"You're right that the FSI materials are in the public domain.  But our delivery of them on the web still has costs to us.... I will not necessarily authorize removal of the password.  I may be wrong here, and would be interested to hear other views.

On the other hand, since we already have the material digitized from reel-to-reel tapes, maybe your volunteers would like to take advantage of our work there..."

i've suggested that the audio could be hosted here (on the assumption that any genuine FSI materials can have a home here - i hope this is valid), and asked the cornell contact to get back to me if this is ok.  if he does, i'll need a suggest a way of transferring the digitised material.  i've used various services such as www.transferbigfiles.com before - so all i need is an email address...

if anybody else notices other sites hosting FSI material but password protecting it, it might be worth dropping them a line too...

I will be happy to post here.  If they reply and offer to give us the files, send me a private message, and I will give you an email address for http://www.yousendit.com.
