Default electronic-only publication at Astronomy and Astrophysics

For a while back in the 1990s, A&A published some things (such as
appendices to papers) ONLY electronically. However,
ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr doesn't seem to exist anymore, and
http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html doesn't work (many links return
"not found" etc).

For example, take http://aa.springer.de/papers/7318003/2300680/small.htm
where one can read:

* All three appendices are only available in electronic form at the
CDS via anonymous ftp to ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/A+A/
(130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html

However, a reader cannot access the appendices via these links.

How can one access them?

In this case, I am author of the paper, so have the appendices, and they
are also at arXiv. However, I think that a reader should be able to
access the content of a paper published by A&A at the official site.
