Does anyone know if the latest DDN essage (regarding conversion to standard packet formats) is a roundabout explaination for why MILNET<->ARPANET connectivity has been rather erratic over the past two weeks? For that matter, has anyone else noticed any connectivity problems? I seem to be able to reach *West Coast* sites fairly reliably. Sites closer to home, however, have been another matter entirely. Tony P.S. To whom it concerns: warper routes thru 26.1.0.102 (aplvax.jhuapl.edu). ------- ---------------- ------- ARPA, trn@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu, UUCP: {backbone!}mimsy!aplcomm!trn BITNET: trn@warper.jhuapl.edu leading edge (adj.): used to describe technology that is five years out of date and therefore mature enough to be used in a product.

Tony, The DDN bulletin has nothing to do with Arpanet-MILNET connectivity, but rather with X.25 hosts requiring non-standard default flow control parameters and the intra-MILNET interroperability (and MILNET management) problems that result. The connectivity problems are the result of a problem in the Butterfly mailbridge software that was fixed late last week. New disks were being sent out on Friday.
