I should probably point something out before anybody does something that is 
not allowed: the route to world.std.com from the EPFL etc.  is an open-jaw 
route (the packets don't come back the same way they go out), the incoming
packets still traverse the NSFnet and EASIgate and are naturally subject
to the NSFnet and EASInet acceptable use policy. Just to keep you out
of trouble....
