Sorry to have singled you out, but Honeyman is (again ) wrong in his assumption that "allegra is the official uucp route server for the atlantic states" ... My point was that from ucbvax's point of view, allegra is the best way to get to .ATL ... now, for other people, seismo might be better ... in any case, the "best" way to get to an area depends on where you are coming from. There are no "official" servers for my scheme to domain uucp. You get there how ever you want, but keep it out of the address. ------------ Jordan Hayes jordan@UCB-VAX.BERKELEY.EDU UC Berkeley ucbvax!jordan +1 (415) 835-8767 37' 52.29" N 122' 15.41" W Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
