The following message implies that mail between bitnet and info-apple
will get backlogged at the beginning of next week (another period
of silence followed by a large number of messages mostly out of
<time> sequence).

UCONNVM and BROWNVM (where APPLE2-L is) are using the gateway at
MIT to communicate with the INTERNET, but every bitnet site West
and South of NYC will be cutoff from APPLE2-L on Sunday (probably
not a great problem since the number of files per day has been
small, but if anyone has a program to post it would make sense to
do it before Saturday or wait until next Monday).
