an interesting question follows:
how will this map get included in the maps which are published
every month? i believe the EUNET folks control those maps,
so obviously that won't work ...

Now I don't see i2ack in the pyramid map, so I can't get there from here automatically, but I'll put that in my local paths file and be done with it. Then there's the small matter of getting maps for all of i2ack's attached sites.... --Ed ps. looking for any Vielmettis in Italy -- my great-grandfather Max emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800s.

Since we are receiving these days a lot of subscriptions, i am just waiting for a definite situation. I posted my map here just to let it go around a bit; i know i need to send it to rutgers, but until things are fixed here i won't. For instance, i2ack is now being replaced as a News Feed by "deejay", the main sponsor for SUBlink, and the only one with a Trailblazer Plus: our 3 Trailblazer T1000 won't get here before some time. Also on international calls, the Telebit performs pretty well, i.e. around 7000 bit/s using g proto. With f proto it should go much faster. Probably we could approach 10000 ( not a so bad line..). Let's consider the slowest speed (7000): last night the average transfer rate was around 80 seconds for 50+ Kbytes. On Itapac - according to what I2unix told me - this would cost 300 Lire for each K = 15000 Lire. Our transfer did not cost more that 2700. If we were using f proto, i think we could gain the 2000< limit. This means anyway from 5 to 7 times cheaper transfers. As far as A.Berni (postmaster@i2unix), mcvax DOES HAVE a Trailblazer too! So..PTT is the real problem? Lets face it. We are talking about lowering down costs 5-7 . If all of this mess i caused on EUnet will bring the network to use faster connections and lower down prices, i won't care too much of mail rejection. Cause i will afford paying eunet and being an official european site.
