	During my years in the States I used the directory unetmap as a useful
	tool. I prefer that mcvax keeps hands off this newsgroup and send the
	monthly maps on the net.
NO! This is Europe, not the States. And this is EUnet,
where things are organised vastly different and in a much
more structured way than the anarchistic uucp network
setup in the States. Since many years already the EUnet
backbones (there is no equivalent for that in the US)
provide full routing, based on up-to-date (on a DAILY
basis!) routing information. That's something that can
NEVER be provided by monthly map postings.
The backbone routing has proved to work very good; iff
we were to ever post the maps in Europe, all backbones
would immediately disable explicit user-provided routing
to avoid old, long and clumsy paths leading to undeliverable
and bounced mails, wasting network bandwidth and to screwing
up the EUnet accounting.
