Yep :-)  Although I might be up waiting for those 25 bytes per second to get
through the intl' link, as well as the meagre 128k ISDN link curtin *still*
has, I think we all hoped PARNET would be operational by now:(

I liked things better when AARNET was running things, at least the whole campus
didn't have Netscape and 28.8k remote access back then!

btw, Peter, whats the lag like at ECU??

Dan.
