What am I doing wrong ?? :-) See the other articles in this thread. Just as obviously I could spend the rest of the day typing in similar examples (I just picked half a dozen random from our routing tables), but that would be a waste of everybodies time. I couldn't care less if your service provider has access to world.std.com or not. Somebody obviously had trouble making the distinction between marketing arguments and an example illustrating the fact that the "Internet" is not a homogenous entity were everybody has the same connectivity, but far more a loose cooperation of various service providers. -- CHUUG/EUnet Switzerland Simon Poole Zweierstrasse 35 Tel: +41 1 291 45 80 CH-8004 Zuerich Fax: +41 1 291 46 42 poole@eunet.ch
