By the way, I am the program manager of the Arpanet in the Information Science and Technology Office of DARPA, located in Roslin (Arlington), not the Pentagon. I would like suggestions as to what you, or anyone else, think should be done to prevent such occurances in the furture. There are many drastic choices one could make. Is there a reasonable one? Perhaps some one from Sun could volunteer what there action will be in light of this revelation. I certainly hope that the community can come up with a good solution, because I know that when the problem gets solved from the top the solutions will reflect their concerns. Think about this situation and I think you will all agree that this is a serious problem that could cripple the Arpanet and anyother net that lets things like this happen without control. dennis -------
