We could avoid all this arguing about whether calls to NBS are routed by satellite or terrestrial links if people would actually TRY it instead of engaging in armchair pontificating. It's quite easy; remember that the NBS output indicates how much it advances the on-second marker when you echo the marker back. I've used the NBS software a half dozen times now from northern NJ via AT&T, and I get pretty consistent propagation delays of 57-58 ms at 1200 baud. I haven't gotten a satellite path yet. Phil
