[HECnet] Connections?

Guys. I figure I should try to get a more formalized handling of connections to HECnet. With my bridge, it's mostly just people connecting to me, but this is not a solution that scales very well, so in general I now try to discourage people from this option. When possible, I prefer to move people away from it. Multinet on the other hand scales well. And is possible to use directly both in VMS and RSX. However, it is silly and inefficient if all multinet links are to go to me. So I'm thinking about identifying a few people/places elsewhere in the world, which can be used for connections where it makes more sense for a somewhat closer point of connection. So, I would go on dealing with Europe. Might at some point be that we'd like a second point in the south of Europe, but that is not a high priority right now. However, for the US, it would be nice if we could identify a location on each coast, which have a capable system, and normally is always online, and which have a good bandwidth, and would be willing to setup connections to new machines that want to come online. So, are there any takers? I'll continue to be the first point of contact when people come asking, but I'd be happy if I could redirect them to the appropriate person once we have figured out a few basic details. And then these two persons can work on establishing the actual link.
