On checking, I see that it does not appear on the listing his areafix sends out, nor do I see any other regional echos there. I had thought that when Carol was RC, it was arranged to have it on the backbone, but I guess the situation is really what you said. The effect is nearly the same. Anyone who has legitimate cause to access it can do so without a great effort, and no one gets bent out of shape about it. dale (at) min (dot) net (1:261/1466) ....
