I have been comminucating with utep-vaxa (Texas-El Paso), but on the demise of seismo, that connection has been severed. Messages have been forwarded via a machine "cadovax" where they bomb, and send a reply. This had happened earlier, when I discovered that while utep-vaxa can call out that way, cadovax doesn't call vaxa. Could someone please update the pathalias database globally to reflect the correct state? Cheers! -- James C. Armstrong, Jnr. (nicmad,ulysses,ihnp4)!terminus!nyssa

Hello,
I usually don't reply via news on articles but this one
affects my site directly. Mr. Armstrong's article had the situation
between cadovax and utep-vaxa reversed. The situation is this:
cadovax has the phone number, login name, and password to call
utep-vaxa. (I have no idea if they are actually still able to
call us. It has been a while since they have.)
utep-vaxa has a phone number (from about 3 years back), and a login
name for use with cadovax. The login has a password on it
now (with good reason), but we don't have it.
Don't give up hope yet, though. Utep-vaxa is still connected
to ut-sally aka sally.utexas.edu. Sally is a fairly well connected site
so you should be able to get to us through them.
On the issue of updating the pathalias database. I think
rick@uunet.uu.net posted an article that said to mark seismo dead
in the database by typing a command like:
"pathalias -d seismo pathnames_to_map_input_data_files"
All I can say is that it worked for me.
Please send all replies via email.
Cheers,
