If the WISCVM gateway to arpanet isn't replaced, then APPLE2-L won't have a way to reach arpanet subscribers and others whose subscriptions are routed through the same gateway (milnet?). UUCP addresses (when they work at all) are served through the gateway at PSUVAX1. I presume, if you're getting APPLE2-L that way, service should be unaffected. Some UUCP mail goes through ucbvax (Berkeley) which should remain valid. There also is a gateway to arpanet at Berkeley, but since I haven't seen any plan to change route tables in that direction I gather there is no plan for Berkeley to pick up where WISCVM leaves off (i.e, probably Berkeley isn't going to accept anything near the 10,000 pieces of mail/files going through Wicsconsin every day). --------------------- ARPA: sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu Murphy A.

Mr. Sewall, I was unable to find a way back to you, even using your uucp path as in your msg. So I will attempt to discuss this here. I dont know about anyone else, but as of today I am still unable to get a single item to the listserv at brownvm. I am about to try yet again, but even after I succeed, I have yet to hear of anyone who is getting software from the server. I _DID_ receive the software for running a uucp server; alas, I have no machine to run the software on! If you are reading comp.sys.apple and would like to allow usenet/uucp users the privilege of getting Apple II software (and for that matter, anything else that you would like to share) from your machine, AND you have a C compiler and a Bourne/Korn style shell, PLEASE contact me and I will send along what I have gotten.
