Quick update: the ACM information services team have confirmed that
there were only ever three files at
<http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/history/>. Two of these are archived on
archive.org above. The other page is a list of pointers to information
that used to live at
<http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/chris/DIGITAL_ARCHIVE>
It looks like some of this has also been archived at
<https://web.archive.org/web/20120305033726/http://www.cs.utexas.edu:80/users/chris/DIGITAL_ARCHIVE>

I'll see if I can add a comment to the ACM DL page with this
information.

Cheers,
Tristan
