There are multiple routes now between Johnny's world and the Multinet

Yes, it is a good thing. A couple years ago when Chrissie was down for a
while, HECnet was effectivelly split into two segments.

Sending is pretty easy, but reading it would require you to do some
parsing (which, of course, can be done).
But there is an API for VMS mail and it'd be easier to write a program to
do it instead (unless you really want to prove that you can do it in DCL)...

Okay, things are a bit more robust than they were a couple years ago. I'm glad to hear that.

Well I've got a connection from 2.1 (LEGATO) coming over a MULTINET tunnel to GORVAX which is on Johnny's bridged network.
Or am I misunderstanding something?

Chrissie,
Are you the only routing area between the Multinet segments and the segments using Johnny's bridge at the moment?
We finally got the house about a month and a half ago. So I'm now sitting on a 20/5 "Commercial Grade" FIOS line, but have yet to get any of my servers online. I'm afraid the odds are you'll be back online before I can get any of my servers up. I still have to find all the cables for them, and sort out cooling. :-(

Hi All,
I'll be on holiday for a few days, so Zaphod will be offline until at
least Friday 10th July. Maybe a little longer if I forget to switch him
back on again ;-)
