I would be curious to see bounces from ames. As far as altnet, this is one
of the reasons why rerouters are COMPLETELY wrong. We eliminated our
connection to them after they had been on autopilot for several months. I
submitted a new map entry, but, of course, no one from Altos has. After I
started getting complaints from people trying to reply to the original
subject, I sent some mail to our map coordinator. Meanwhile, anyone forced
to send mail through a rerouter who thinks that uunet!altnet!vsi1 is the
best path is completely out of luck.

I I checked my paths file and vsil isn't even in it! Both uunet!altnet and uunet!ames are there, but no vsil.

Tsk, tsk, Larry. I thought you'd notice the obvious (at least on my display) mistake...

On a related note, there is a site out there called 'unet'.

When I was sysadmin of 'unet' ( Network Equipment Technologies ) we never got anything. I was surprised, as I'd wondered much the same.
