The following systems are no longer in this report:

,200,Outpost_BBS,Johnson_City_TN_USA,Sean_Dennis,-Unpublished-,300,ICM,XX,INA:bbs.outpostbbs.net,IBN,IFC,IFT,ITN:60177,PING,TRACE
,10,The_Byte_Museum,Wharton_TX,Matt_Bedynek,-Unpublished-,300,INA:ftn.bytemuseum.org,IBN,ICM,MO,MN,PING,XA
,51,bbs.bofh.it,Milano,Marco_d'Itri,-Unpublished-,300,ICM,XA,MO,IBN,IFC,ITN:60177,U,ENC

The first 2 had the ICM changed to CM. The latter had the ICM just removed...


Bye, Wilfred.
