i mentioned in a previous article that i have a toy which produces tplot
formatted output given some geographical and connectivity information.

i don't have the lat/long for hao, cae780 or ulysses, but other than that,
below is a uuencoded plot of the backbone.  i am not into geography or
anything like that so i can't tell you what is actually wrong with the
format, except that it is misproportioned and what not.  if you know the
exact location of the missing systems, let me know.  also, killer is
not included, nor is osu-cis.  that will change and perhaps i'll produce
and update if anyone is interested.

to view this thing, go drag the old tek4014 out of the closet, uudecode
this sucker, then run it through tplot to your favorite graphics device.
it looks, ah, interesting on a hercules display.
