Originally our main feed was yunexus however a while ago, there was a small problem with smoke in the computer room there. This meant that yunexus became somewhat unreliable for most of the holiday season. At this time we set up a full feed to jtsv16 (it had been only local groups up to that time) and afterwards left it as a redundant feed. Additionally the traffic to yunexus was also restricted (to non-jtsv16 articles) because it seemed to be heavily loaded with news traffic and an additional redundant inbound feed seemed unnecessary. I anticipated that the news re-organization would change things later anyway so I did not worry about the issue further. Since this has not happened, geac is prepared to arrange redundant feeds to Trailblazer sites in order to provide a backup for the regular feeds. If you are interested send me mail to work out the details. -- Eric Dirks Geac Computer Corporation, Markham, Ontario eric@geac {uunet!jtsv16,yunexus,utgpu}!geac!eric
