I can't name one yet, but give it a week or so and I'll probably be able to. Two of the larger UUCP sites around here, xylogics and ulowell, recently severed _all_ their UUCP connections with little warning. There hasn't been time for all the maps to be updated, and some postmasters probably won't get around to sending in updated map entries for a while anyway. I know I can route by hand around those two sites; but an agressive rerouter using the current map set will try to force mail through those two sites. Xylogics, especially, has some links marked (DEDICATED+FAST), and pathalias _really_ wants to use them. --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
