	Uh, not really.   Glombed from comp.dcom.telcom...


The news on the street is that there is more to the Jolnet stink than
has been previously revealed --
We're told by a deep-throat type that AT&T is on the war path about
their software, and that 3b2 people in particular are targeted for
'counseling' and whatever corrective action is deemed necessary by
'the authorities'.
So the story on the street goes, another prominent netter was arrested
just recently by the same friendly folks who shut down Jolnet not long
ago. Like jolnet, netsys went down abruptly, with *everything*
confiscated, including a box of old busted up circuit boards in the
basement which hadn't been looked at in years. Now comes news that
attcdc, formerly known as killer went off line in a hurry.....
When 'the authorities' come a-calling, with warrant in hand, and their
credentials in order, they start looking for Mother's source code; 3b2
stuff and the like, and they keep looking until they find it.

Jolnet ===> netsys ===> attcdc (killer) ===>  your 3b2 site name here.


	Seems it is not a good idea to be a public access
	UNIX system nowadays....
