Another cull from the LINKFAIL list.  I think both of these nodes are
in France, but I'm not sure. (someone?)

   There is again a large backlog of files on the FRULM11-FRORS13 link (2600
   in one  direction, 1800  in the  other, 700  on LISTSERV's  reader). This
   seems to be caused  by a node sending large files  (10,000+ records) at a
   low  priority, an  unexpected burst  of traffic  towards LISTSERV@FRULM11
   (possibly due  to some major  backlog having  cleared up in  BITNET), and
   there also seems to be an unusual amount of TRICKLE traffic (but I may be
   wrong, I could only see part of the queue). Anyway the end result is that
   postings from mailing lists are again likely  to take 1 week to cross the
   ocean. Fortunately, I  am leaving for SHARE tomorrow morning  and will be
   unable to provide any assitance with this problem :-)
