People can use a MILNET TAC rather than ARPANET host in the first place if they want to access a MILNET host--they are located in more and more locations, and access is essentially added wherever it is requested. An awful lot of people continue to use an ARPANET TAC merely because they happen to know its phone number. I bet there are people on this list who do not know they can FTP a list of MILNET TAC dialup numbers (those currently operational) off of the host SRI-NIC.ARPA with the pathname NETINFO:TAC-PHONES.LIST . In fact, it might be interesting to see what the effect on load would be if everyone who could used a TAC on the proper network. -------
