Any know if something is happening at BrownVM with APPLE2-L?  I have 
been trying to pull stuff from them all week with no response or 
acknowledgements.

I have been getting GS source from APPLE2-L pretty consistently (just
about every day I get something) for the past week. Must be something
wrong in a gateway somewhere...

The gateways between BITNET and the INTERNET have been bouncing EVERYTHING
addressed to 'decwrl.dec.com' (the gateway for anyhost.dec.com) as
"unable to connect to host DECWRL.DEC.COM for three days" for most of
the past week (maybe it's all those copies of Apple tech notes being
mailed by APPLE2-L -- at anyrate everything's been coming back).  Since
just about all other addresses (notable exception: cunyvm.cuny.edu seems
almost never able to connect with 'tcm.com' or anywhere else in that
domain) have not bounced much back, I'd guess that the problem is at
DECWRL.  Probably about all you can do is wait a week or so and try again.
