Boston Univ Computing Center Director: Barry, is it true that all our BITNET email to/from the academic mainframe goes to our TCP/IP sites (mostly computer science) via a gateway at the University Wisconsin? Me: Yes that is correct, I set that up, they're ok with that. BUCCD: So every email is traveling about 3,000 miles to get 150 feet down the hall??? Me: That sounds about right. BUCCD: *ARE YOU NUTS?!* Me: Never, ever, feel sorry for the wires. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
