I asked this 5 months ago and then heard that version 2.0 of US Gosip would be available in the summer. Today I looked from various ftp hosts (nisc.nyser.net, uunet.uu.net, sh.cs.net, etc.) but only found version 1.0. I was not able to connect to sri-nic as usual. Does anyone know the current status of the Gosip document? -- -- Juha Heinanen, Tampere Univ. of Technology, Finland jh@tut.fi (Internet), tut!jh (UUCP), jh@tut (Bitnet)

Hope this helps.
