Upon redoing my paths file recently, I noticed that pathalias now considers
the fastest trip from here to uunet to be

telly!utzoo!utgpu!utai!watmath!uunet

rather than what it used to be, telly!attcan!uunet

This brought on a couple of curiosities:

1) What's changed in local connectivity to bring this about? Does watmath
   really talk to uunet every 1/2 hour?

2) I thought UofT also talks to uunet. If the waterloo connection is so
   good, why bother?
   
3) Has anyone else seen this change?

4) Can anyone confirm what I've heard as rumour, that Telebit
   LD links for news feeds are actually cheaper than X.25?
