Two questions. (1) How much does it cost to run Telenet? I know how much it cost to run the Arpanet. (2) How many packets does Telenet carry? If you will send me those data, I will put both the Arpanet figures and the Telenet figures on the net. If your statements are true, then it will help us in future designs. dennis -------
