Come on Henry, is it or isn't it dead, and can we or can we not route that way?
Inquiring minds want to know because if linus isn't a good way and you still
have mnetor in your .signature, how are the rest of us to know?

How about a watmath suggestion?  Don't they talk to uunet too?  Why not get
the map coordinator to put some appropriate values in so that we avoid linus.
Don't tell us *not* to use something unless you suggest an alternative.

Sorry, I'm frustrated too.  I never realized how much work mnetor did until
most of my Canadian communications groaned to a halt.
