G'day Niels,

Replying to a message of Niels Petersen to Jeff Green on 18-05-96:

 NP> If Dave Hatch goes down (808) then we ALL become disconnected and
 NP> would have to make alternative feeds. It's hard to decide to do this,
 NP> as a dropout may only be for a few days and then resume again.  If an

 NP> It can be done, but lets hope Bave's now modified system keeps

Wouldn't the seen-by lines take care of dupes? I thought that was what they
were for? 

If a message already has a seen-by for 711/934, it wouldn't get tossed into
a packet for TML. That was my understanding of it anyway.

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
