[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains] What happened to world.std.com

swansonc@acc.stolaf.edu (Chris Swanson) (05/12/91)

Greetings,

	Does anybody know what happened to Software Tool&Die?  I get a
non-authoritative resolution of [192.74.137.5] using nslookup, and
traceroute terminates at Urbana_Champaign.IL.NSS.NSF.NET.  When I try
and get any kind of connection to it, I get back a "network
unreachable" error.

	Regards,
	-=Chris

	I would deny this reality, but that wouldn't pay the bills...

Software Tool & Die is currently only on Alternet and lacks NSFnet
Permission To Connect via the NSFnet backbone.  Sometime soon the links
implementing the CIX agreement should materialise, and then ST&D will be
reachable from the various alternate network service providers (e.g.
Alternet, PSInet) and any regional networks that they connect to (e.g.
NEARnet).
