      If you capture the addresses of the originating sites to the old
      machine, it would be interesting to see a breakdown of what operating
      systems were involved.  Dollars to donuts quite a few are running KA9Q
      net.exe. 

   I'll take you up on that bet.  I studied a more-or-less random sample
   of machines over a day and a half[1].  I telnetted to the machine, and
   captured the output.  Of the machines listed below, only 6 could
   *possibly* be KA9Q, and none are *definitely* KA9Q.

Well, I'll agree with you that some of those are really weird, and
that most probably aren't running ka9q. I CAN, however vouch for one
of these namely:

   Domain/OS sr10 (sys2)

which is an Apollo at my site (Hughes Network Systems). It's not
running ka9q.

I missed the beginning of this thread. What was the selection criteria
for these machines? I know that this machine has some problems -
that's why I'm here. If someone has noticed something losing about it,
please let me know.
