Link in readme file is broken

At the bottom of the readme there's a link to http://www.gns3.net/dynamips/

This link is broken.
Perhaps the intent was to link to http://www.gns3.com/dynamips/ ?
I'm not sure that's the right place to point to, because the article there explains how dynamips is not maintained anymore, and give links to sourceforge. I'm a bit confused as to what is the 'community' version he mentions in the article, and where exactly is the official code repo...

And while we're at it - the last two links to http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/ are broken, as the site doesn't exist anymore. Not sure if there's a copy of that somewhere.

Dynamips was developed a long time ago (around 2005-2006), the original author, Christophe Fillot, was gone a few years after and never heard of again. We briefly had a community version based on his work which was then renamed to the original project name. Now we consider that we host the de-facto official code repo.

@grossmj, if the github code is now the authoritative code repo, don't you think that linking to the https://gns3.com/dynamips/ page will cause confusion, as he links there to the sourceforge repo?

True, I will remove that link then 👍
