I got responses from 297 sites, for a total of 720K (including mail headers). Discounting big sites, the average response was about 2500 bytes. The big sites I discounted were: 10821 bloom-beacon.mit.edu 11016 news.arc.nasa.gov 12067 prc.unisys.com 19596 rutgers.edu 15919 tut.cis.ohio-state.edu 20355 ucbvax.berkeley.edu 12605 ms.uky.edu 142456 uunet.uu.net I think your average INET site is "bigger" than your average non-Inet site. /rich $alz -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
