	An alternate solution to the mail problem would be for all hosts
to start using the host table being generated on ARGUS.  This is a
NIC-format host table containing both Stanford hosts and hosts registered
with the NIC.  This host table is accessible via an RFC811-style server
(UNIX gettable program and similar programs) or via anonymous ftp from
ARGUS as /netinfo/hosts.txt

	The table has been beta-tested for several weeks on AHWAHNEE, SAIL,
and the LOTS DEC-20's.  I had intended to delay public announcement until
it had also been tested on CARMEL, but circumstances seem to suggest more
immediate universal adoption might be desireable.
