Can someone help me find a unix mail path to cernvax in Geneva, Switzerland? It used to be that it went through mcvax, which I think is in the Netherlands. But I think that link to Europe has become unsupported. Any word would be appreciated. Thomas Mellman. Incidently, I wasn't sure which was the proper group for this request.

I can't believe that USA->mcvax link has become unsupported. At least seismo!mcvax should work alright, and if not, bellcore!mcvax (this is much slower). There are also connections to cernvax that avoid mcvax and the routes possible routes are: seismo!{unido, enea}!mcvax (unido is in Germany, enea is in Sweden) However, I say again that it seems very unlikely that seismo!mcvax is not working, since it's a pretty big connection. -- Eiji ("A.G.")

Mcvax is alive and well supported, so in this respect you're totally off. Maybe you though about the decvax-mcvax link, which is indeed not supported anymore. Instead, mcvax has a link to seismo. Quite some other european backbone nodes have direct links to seismo, too, but cernvax isn't one of these. According to our pathalias data, the correct path looks like: ttrdc!ihnp4!moss!rutgers!seismo!mcvax!cernvax. Hans-Martin D

From about 22 to 26 may some mail is lost on the mcvax. There was
a message from piet@mcvax on eunet. This is the first time that
I have lost mail on the mcvax. The connection mcvax cernvax is
very good and fast.

The correct path is: seismo!{unido, enea}!cernvax. -A.G. Hirai -- Eiji ("A.G.")

The seismo-mcvax link is a 9600 bps leased line running tcp/ip. It is certainly supported and gets a lot of use. E.g. for the past few days: Files Byte Throughput Sent/Rec Sent/Rec in bps mcvax 1533/676 3572874/875362 6802 mcvax 1330/350 3904781/396584 7537 mcvax 1866/1150 3395895/1753886 6990 mcvax 1106/366 2508623/384154 8581 By the way, this is only MAIL. News is sent via nntp and doesn't show up in this list. With a volume like this, it soon becomes real obvious when the link is down. ---rick p.s. If you want to get picky, the link is "officially" unsupported. However, so is 4.3bsd, the news software you are running, etc.
