tim asks who is paying for my trip to Russia. How about me for incidentals and a total of $13.50 for tax on a delta frequent flyer ticket? NSF has paid for NONE of my trips. In Sept october 1994 NATO paid for a $620 airplane ticket and I paid $120 to extend it and for all other expenses. ********************************************************************** The COOK Report on Internet Individ. hard copy $150 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA Small Corp & Gov't $200 (609) 882-2572 phone and fax Corporate $350 Internet: cook@cookreport.com Corporate Site Lic. $650 http://pobox.com/cook/ for new report: "Tracking Internet Infrastructure" *********************************************************************** On Sat, 25 May 1996, Tim Bass wrote:

To be sure, you are correct. My subliminal message was more-than-likely something like this:
"There is very little justification for being single threaded in network operations in today's very inexpensive, high performance, UN*X world.' (IYKWIM)
So, the issue, does not really appear to be "Router Servers: Are They A Good Thing, Yes or No"? as implied in a much earlier post, but more an architecutural issue, single threaded configurations, and so forth.
Even 'experimental, non-operational' (whatever that really means in the real world.... use at your own risk) services such as RA could easily and cheaply have some redundancy built in at a very moderate cost in todays world.
Back to Saturday, Best Regards,

Side note to Gordon Cook based on his contribution earlier:
Gordon, just a little barb to you, please do not take it personally, but.. "is your current trip to Russia also funded by the NSF similar to your previous trip"? ( inquiring minds want to know ;-)
Whoops! There I go again, standing in the corner, just losing my religion.... Oh well, I said too much, I haven't said enought....
