Yes, try in csc-sun.math.utah.edu in the directory
/pub/tex/apstex30
in tar, zip and zoo format.
But more generally than that, there is a wonderful tool to
find such stuff on the internet that sure beats the voluminous ftplists
that some of us used to keep. It is the way I found RevTeX 3.0
in less than 30 seconds. There are now several machines
called 'archie' servers in Canada and the US and around the world.
The machines regularly query every anonymous machine that they know
to determine available files. These servers are searchable
either by 1) logging on to them or 2) running a client from your
home host. One server is archie.sura.net. Log on by
telnetting to archie.sura.net and using the username archie
(currently only after 8:00 pm EST). Search by going "prog <string>"
where <string> is a substring of something you're searching for
(e.g. revtex). Regular expression searches are also available.
You can mail the stuff back to your site from
the server, and the server offers servicable help by typing
help.
An easier method is to use clients for X, emacs and others that
work around the clock from your own machine. They can be
found in
/pub/archie/clients
by ftping to archie.sura.net.
In addition to the suranet one, servers worldwide are
archie.rutgers.edu 128.6.18.15 (Rutgers University)
archie.unl.edu 129.93.1.14 (University of Nebraska in Lincoln)
archie.ans.net 147.225.1.2 (ANS archie server)
archie.au 139.130.4.6 (Australian server)
archie.funet.fi 128.214.6.100 (European server in Finland)
archie.doc.ic.ac.uk 146.169.11.3 (UK/Europe server)
archie.cs.huji.ac.il 132.65.6.15 (Israel server)
archie.wide.ad.jp 133.4.3.6 (Japanese server)
archie.ncu.edu.tw 140.115.19.24 (Taiwanese server)
archie.sogang.ac.kr 163.239.1.11 (Korean server)
This is a marvelous service, and I cannot recommend it more
highly. Search for 'physics' and you'll find many many interesting
programs, toys, things around the world just waiting to suck
up every available scrap of time.

[Nice suggestion for using archie server etc deleted]
Sure, I know the archie server and it never found ReVTeX3.0.
I could only find the older versions. Maybe my default server is not very
much updated. And my list of anonymous ftp sites are older verion.
That's why I asked to the net.
By the way, ReVTeX3.0 is available from the creator(aps.org) by anonymous ftp.
Thsnks for all the responses.

Also, this is tied into the world-wide-web (WWW) system, a global
hypertext information network. WWW is spreading widely through
the HEP community, and out from there. You can telnet to info.cern.ch
to start getting information on WWW. The text mode browser is painful,
but you can use it to track down the X browser, "Mosaic," which is
pretty slick.
