#My count of IP_connected countries now stands at 24 (up from 22, and

	It's 25.

#[2] I have been informed of the existence of a connected 24_country
#corporate IP network which includes a host in Belgium, which I pinged
#and telnetted. I have decided not to count this or any other
#corporate_IP_net hosts in my list, partly because they are now just
#too easy to be a challenge, but also because I am a scientist

	No.  Scientists are supposed to have open minds and
	ability to think.  Not closed-minded bigots who decide
	arbitrarily that only universities count for ip
	connectivity.  This attitude does not belong on
	c.p.tcp-ip.

#Regarding the continent of Africa: I have gotten no indications of any
#non-commercial IP connection to anywhere in Africa,

	Give it up.
