Since Armando still is not answering his mail, I'm going to try phoning him tomorrow. If I can't get this mess on its way to being cleared up in the next couple of days, an alternative news feed may be in order. While there is something to be said for connecting to a reasonably "central" site, there is also something to be said for connecting to a site which isn't quite so heavily loaded and which has system people who answer their mail in emergencies. Does anybody have any suggestions for feed sites other than Case Western (cwruecmp)? cwruecmp is (a) willing to be polled, (b) closer than decvax, (c) equipped with triple modems [decvax has 212 only], (d) not heavily loaded with uucp traffic, (e) willing to call us in emergencies [e.g. autodialer trouble], and (f) staffed by people who seem to believe in answering their mail. (If I seem to be harping on that last, I have good reason...) A site which was willing to call us on a regular basis would be better, but I'd be surprised to find one. (Oh, yes, cwruecmp is also (g) only one more hop away from the major network nodes.)
