i've crossposted this to both, NAB and Z1B, echos so as to see what answers 
they can provide...

 BJ> Hmmm.....

 BJ> I haven't seen any traffic here in the last three days.  I'm
 BJ> wondering if there is a broken link....  Usually  there is
 BJ> daily traffic....

i dunno... i'll check and see what can be found out... i know that there was 
recently some schtuff taking place with a few of the main Z1 mail hubs... they 
may have broken something inadvertently if there were any config changes or 
connection adjustments...

 BJ> The last message I received had the following origin, seen-by
 BJ> and path info....

seenbys don't really mean anything... especially when they cross zone 
boundaries...

 IA>> PATH: 109/921 261/38 18/500 106/1 10/345 343/41

109/921  - andy roberts           - luray, virginia, usa
261/38   - janis kracht           - windsor, new york, usa
18/500   - ross cassell (NAB)     - spartanburg, south carolina, usa
106/1    - steve loupe  (NAB/Z1B) - houston, texas, usa
10/345   - todd cochrane (Z1B)    - honolulu, hawaii, usa
343/41   - bob jones              - seattle, washington, usa

106/1 is the bridge system between the NAB and the Z1B... since that message 
passed thru there and on to todd cochrane's system, that would indicate that at 

that time, the bridge system was operating properly...

me? i'm a Z1B tier 2 system but i feed from the NAB side of things...

your message took the following path to my system...

PATH: 343/41 10/345 106/1 2000

343/41   - bob jones              - seattle, washington, usa
10/345   - todd cochrane (Z1B)    - honolulu, hawaii, usa
106/1    - steve loupe  (NAB/Z1B) - houston, texas, usa
106/2000 - bob juge (NAB)         - sugar land, texas, usa
3634/12  - mark lewis             - fayetteville, north carolina, usa

seems that the bridge system is still working...

the message in question, to get to my system, came via the same path as to your 

system except that it branched from 18/500 to 106/2000 and then to me...
