No, I meant the path. The path a netmail has to travel is some systems. But
sometimes there are not so many systems, while it takes over a week. Mostly
one system polld not frequently, and with the kludges you can find out
which system it is.

Hmmz... Strange je is also for Europe...
But mostly it goes smooth, for when the new uplink links you, the old
unlinks, so no messages are lost or something like that.
