I used to be a RIME sysop before their Postlink "upgrade" last year.  It 
was a lame upgrade probably used to keep a certain person's college bills 
in check.  The software was severely flawed, even in the "release".

Since they had a structure where there were a couple of levels (NETHUB, 
HUB, HUB, NODE), they could play politics by cutting a node off at their 
hub, or at that hub's hub, or at the nethub.
