For some reason I always thought the archives were publicly viewable?
I can access them from the following two sites without being prompted for my password:
http://serials.infomotions.com/ngc4lib/
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.culture.libraries.ngc4lib
I'm also not prompted for a password when I go to the official archives:
http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/ngc4lib.html
