What makes you think that they've dropped off the planet? I'm not sure how their newsfeed is reaching them these days - if I had to guess it would be mailrus!eecae!fmsrl7 if I'm involved. That's somewhat less than an optimal path for sending mail, however.... --Ed (on vacation 7/15 to 7/23 so if it's my fault, uh, I can't be much help....)

What makes you think that they've dropped off the >planet? fmsrl7 is alive and kicking. however mail to their postmaster is unlikely to be answered, or so mike wayne (teemc!wayne) informs me. that's because there is not active person looking after it. the latest maps show connections to killer and mibte and other sites around. i would suggest you contact mike wayne, perhaps clogged news or something has been queuing up? fmsrl7's future is rather uncertain i'm told, but who knows? -- usenet ..!{uunet!umix, pur-ee!iuvax, ucbvax!mtxinu, rutgers!psuvax1}!mcf!shan internet: shan%mcf.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu shan@mcf.uucp "The answer is UNIX: now what was the question?" -- title of a technical report published by some one in some university somewhere in the UK.

What makes you think that they've dropped off the > planet? rel has successfully talked with fmsrl7 evey day this month through today. There doesn't appear to be any problems with our uucp connection. I'm not sure who the new SYSADMIN since Mike Wayne left. Mike sent out a map update just before he left. I haven't heard from anyone else. bob -- Bob Leffler - EDS, GM Truck & Bus Account (313)456-5375 bob@rel.eds.com or {uunet!edsews, rutgers, umix}!rel!bob Opinions expressed may not be those of my employer.

I am still (remotely) trying to tend fmsrl7. I have crafted many scripts to insure that the machine runs fine unattended and that uucp stays up and running. John F. Haugh II (jfh@rpp386.UUCP) was concerned that it did not contact his machine. This may have been attibutable to a lack of tuning of one script and in no way should be construed as fmsrl7 having "dropped off the planet". At present, fmsrl7 is in reliable, daily contact with the machines listed in the map entries (as far as I know) and news is continuing to flow unimpeded. If anyone else is having problems, I suggest you MAIL your concerns to me at teemc. /\/\ \/\/ -- Michael R.
