Our (actually utai's) uucp database shows the following path for mail going to geovision, and anything else cognos talks to: neat.ai.toronto.edu!rutgers!oddjob!gargoyle!spl1!scs!sce!cognos!geovision Why would scs's (Carleton) call to spl1 (Chicago) be rated lower than a connection to another Ottawa site? I would think that nrcaer or bnr-vpa would be better. But that might just be politics. Anyone? -- Doug Eastick eastick@me.UTORONTO.BITNET UUCP: ...!utai!me!eastick eastick@me.utoronto.ca

I would think that nrcaer or >bnr-vpa would be better. But that might just be politics. Well, lsuc!nrcaer is rated WEEKLY, and dciem!nrcaer is rated POLLED/6. They're both faster than that, I would think. In the past, we didn't call nrcaer at all, though we do now. They call us most evenings. I don't mind upgrading lsuc!nrcaer to DEMAND. I just checked our L.sys line and added some improvements so that it actually connects properly. :-) That path you show is actually quite unremarkable, compared with what happened in July 1986. Remember when everyone suddenly discovered UUCP over X.25 and announced "cheap" international links? The best path from lsuc to seismo then came out as: seismo utcs!utai!ubc-vision!munnari!prlb2!enea!seismo!%s That is, through U of T to Vancouver, Australia, Belgium and Sweden to Virginia. Now *that's* the long way around the world. David Sherman The Law Society of Upper Canada -- Moderator, mail.yiddish { uunet!attcan att utzoo }!lsuc!dave dave@lsuc.on.ca

I would think that nrcaer or >bnr-vpa would be better. But that might just be politics. We in Ottawa used to get mail/news/whatever over dciem!nrcaer!{ottawa}. For a short per]iod of time, we had a satellite connection (perhaps we still do) from gandalf in chicago to gandalf in Ottawa. That's why the route goes through spl1. Now, all news goes through uunet!mitel!sce. Mail still works through nrcaer. ..greg (others locally are probably more familiar with the routing....) -- Greg Franks (613) 788-5726 Systems and Computer Engineering, uunet!mitel!sce!greg (uucp) Carleton University, greg@sce.carleton.ca (bitnet) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1S 5B6.
