I thought I'd warn everyone that we are in for a spell of musical chairs with the routing tables in the BBN core gateways again. Apparently we are up over 120 networks in the system, which is more networks than the core gateways have routing table slots, so if your gateway crashes you may find yourself out in the cold when you try and get back in. I don't know exactly when relief is coming; I spoke to someone at BBN and they are preparing to bring out a new release with more slots, but there's no definite timeline. In the interim, I appeal to all sites with more than one network number to please convert to using subnets. Noel -------
