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.
