Some my have followed my exploits in this thread about my fights to get a Bocaram AT Plus driver. Well, during the course of that, I discovered that the should-be-anonymous Boca Research FTP had become non-anonymous.
Thanks to a bit of lookup from Chuck (G), we found that Boca's site was being hosted by Zoom Telephonics, but this apparently a temporary situation, to quote and emphasize the email I got back from tech support that got the FTP working again:
I recommend a few of us immediately mirror the ftp.bocaresearch.com server while it's up. Some of these driver files may become irreplaceable in a short time.

Hello Robert,
My understanding is Zoom only acquired the Boca Research name and trademarks, including the bocaresearch.com domain. We did not buy the whole company outright. As a courtesy we have kept the Boca Research sites as they are, with driver files and other support content still available, but at some point in the near future these sites will be taken down. It is not feasible for us to maintain sites for products that are well over 10 years old, and we have no current plans to produce products under the Boca Research domain.
I am told the FTP login issue should be resolved within ithe next 24 hours. If there are files on those sites that are missing or corrupt, we would not be able to replace them. We have not had contact with the former company in several years.
Do you represent a company that provides support for legacy products? Would you be interested in the bocaresearch.com domain?
Regards,
Jason M.
