mcl last logged in here on Oct 9.  I think it is alive and reasonably
well.  We used to be mcl's news feed, but they've switched to sobeco
and now call here no more than once/week.

The only problem I know of was that Stacy sent in a site description
for a site called deimos in Saskatchewan which lists a very good
connection to mcl.  Unfortunately there is another machine called
deimos in Kansas that Rayan appears to have missed when he added
deimos to u.can.sk.1.  The Kansas deimos is on the internet and this,
combined with mcl's low-frequency connections to the rest of the world
means that pathalias thought the best path to mcl was via Kansas
(which deimos bounces the mail).

I replied to mail from Rayan on this topic earlier this week.  The
u.can.sk.1 map he sent out on Oct 8 has fixed this problem, pending
the SK deimos site being renamed.
