The message above indicates that the submissions for the old and new Macintosh 
related echoes were successful.  The full list submitted to both robots is

NEW NAME       (OLD NAME)
==========================
MAC_COMM       (MACCOMM)
MAC_DEV        (MACDEV)
MAC_FORSALE    (MAC4SALE, MACFSALE)
MAC_GAMES      (same)
MAC_HW         (MACHW)
MAC_SW         (MACSW)
MAC_SYSOP      (MACSYSOP)
MAC_TELEFINDER (same)
MAC_OS         (SYSTEM7)


I assume some such as MAC_TELEFINER were not listed in the response because 
they are already active on it.  The same echos have also been submittted to the 
Z1B robot, but I have not seen or received a response.  Users who are 
interested in particpating in these echoes should request them from their 
feeds, who should in turn forward the requests for the echos up the network 
chain. Some backbone distribution chains enforce requirements for carrying the 
echoes, based upon the minimum number of requests for them in different areas, 
so the successful distribution depends upon the interest in obtaining access to 
them.

I intend to keep old names active until 10-01-04 (or until I feel that everyone 
who desires to connect to the new ones has been given an ample opportunity to 
do so), and I will send traffic to both sets until that date.
