RM> There seems to be some real activity in the above echo

Thats happened with lots of international echoes that
havent seen any international traffic for many months.

The international feed for Sydney and close was via Dave. Now
its not, most of the stuff that has returned from the dead appears
to be coming in thru Bris. You can see that in the PATH lines.

RM> or is this connection likely to vanish without warning?

Well, with any major change, there is a higher risk of
a implosion, but its likely to be the way it is for a while.

Interesting how much some of the international echoes have
shrunk in the time since they were last alive here tho.

Poor old fido is imploding quite dramatically compared with the internet.
