Attention mark,

A netmail was sent to the uplink 1:153/7715 and it was accepted by that node.  
So far no reply.

Also posted to ASIAN_LINK and sent via 1:153/7715 two fts-0001.016 compliant 
packed messages - one with a so-called Type 2+ header, the second with an 
fts-0001.016 compliant pktheader - in seperate pkts of course.  Both were 
accepted but their status beyond that is unknown.

The first (MSGID: 1:153/7001 5ada6628) is posted to "Doctor Flexy Jerkoff" with 
the subject "jumpin' jack flash".  It is the Type 2+ pktheader which has always 
worked to the node in question before this latest breakage.

The second (MSGID: 1:153/7001 5ada6f1d) is posted to "Ming the Merciless" with 
the subject "Pathetic earthlings."  It probably will end up in the uplink's bad 
area since regular fts-0001.016 pktheaders have never worked there in the past 
and there is no reason known to 1:153/7001 that it will succeed in being seen 
beyond 1:153/7715.

I've also tried Type 2.2 pktheaders and they also worked to that node but did 
not send a packed message using that pktheader format this time.  It was one of 
the few nodes where Type 2.2 pktheaders actually worked.

There are backups of the two packed ASIAN_LINK MSGs if you, or anyone, in this 
echo requests them to the working fts-0001.016 compliant uplink which would 
reveal itself in the PATH at the bottom of this officially sanctioned, 
fts-0001.016 compliant packed MSG.

Thank you in advance for you kind attention in this most sensitive matter.

End transmission.
