Okay...here's the story on why Daemon took sooo long to post (as far as I can tell from my end). BITNET, over the past week and a half, has been pretty much hosed. (took me 5 days to get some MORIA2 files, should have taken 5 hours). Rumor has it around here that someone ordered massive amounts of large files, and therefore killed the net. BITNET is, it seems, about to get so bogged down it's going to be as bad as UUCP leaf-node connections. This is the reason behind the BITNET II standard being written at this moment. (TCP-IP with redundancy, faster speeds, etc.) Give BITNET a little extra time until things get straightened out, whatever the problem is. -- Les Barstow LMB7421@RITVAX.BITNET ...rutgers!rochester!ritcv!ultb!lmb7421.UUCP "I know you think you know what you thought I said, but you don't realize that what you thought I said was not what I meant"
