Through the courtesy of Perkin-Elmer's Western Support Group in Santa Clara, California (and the news mods which permit a :L3: specification), we're exchanging news articles within 2-3 hops of each end of lsuc and pesnta. This means that many news articles from Toronto (certainly any which are fed directly to us) will go to California right away, thence quickly out to the U.S.; we also get articles from California sites appearing here much more quickly. (Recently, I've posted a few articles to the net, and had several replies from deep in the bowels of Bell Labs within 12-24 hours - a distinct improvement over the old 3-4 day turnaround time.) Since the decision whether to forward news from here to pesnta depends on how many hops it took to get here, and the decision whether pesnta will forward to ihnp4 depends on how many hops it took to get to pesnta, some sites may want to hook up to us and feed locally-generated articles here directly. Drop me a line if you want to. Dave Sherman The Law Society of Upper Canada (416) 947-3466 -- {utzoo pesnta nrcaero utcs}!lsuc!dave {allegra decvax ihnp4 linus}!utcsrgv!lsuc!dave
