Repeat after me: "Names are : not routes. Routes are not names." Repeat after me: "UUCP doesn't know about names, only routes...." --- After considering what I've received, I've decided that I'm going to let the maps have their way. My reasoning? If the sites didn't want to be routed through, they should have made sure that their map entry reflected this. If they didn't? Not my problem, I'm not their mommy. Anyone have a good reason for not doing this? If so, USE E-MAIL to tell me. --- Bill {uunet|novavax}!proxftl!twwells!bill
