Is there any information on the current connectivity of sites
which pass the alt.* groups? I've been avoiding sending out a sendsys
message to find out, because of the traffic. Anyone already done so
and analysed the results?

I would like to know: where I can pass on alt.* articles that assures me that it will be distributed thru-out the network. That is, who are the backbones of the alt distribution? amdahl would be happy to serve as a backbone, but I don't know who the other alt backbones are. (ptsfa? hoptoad? any others?) -- Gordon A.

Go for it, and post the results. I think it would be pretty interesting. -- In Real Life: Internet: esj@beach.cis.ufl.edu Eric S.
