Hi Rene,

 RB> Hi Linda,

 RB> Op 17 December 1998, zo ongeveer rond 10:10, was Linda 
 RB> Hargraves bezig een berichtje in zijn PC te stampen. 
 RB> Dit werd uiteraard opgemerkt door Rene Bakker, die 
 RB> meteen de reply-knop inbeukte.

 RB>> systems are listed in a 'via'-list. And if someone
 RB>> receives the netmail, and the next system 14 days
 RB>> later, it's caused by the one of the two that makes
 RB>> polls....
 LH>    If the netmail is routed CRASH, no polls should be needed within a
 LH> net, only non-crash mail sent out of a net would need to be polled.

 RB> Yes, but when I send crash to anyone I apprach in 
 RB> netmail, my phonebill would become very high.... 
 RB> Therefore it's routed, and with kludges you can track the route.
   I understand that, but it should not been too many systems, if it's
routed correctly.  It should go to your hub, the NC of the net, the NC of
the region, etc. right up the ladder.

 RB>> So, think twice before installing anything from microschoft :)
 LH>>> I am sure it will go fairly smooth.  Our main feed who also
 LH>>> feeds several other nets is quitting this month.  He is the main
 LH>>> feed for Region 19 and some others as well as some in Europe.
 RB>>> Hmmz... Strange je is also for Europe...
 RB>>> But mostly it goes smooth, for when the new uplink
 RB>>> links you, the old unlinks, so no messages are lost or
 RB>>> something like that.
 LH>      [snip]
 RB>> Of course, and you should only then do it :)
 RB>> The mail won't walk away from your uplink :)
 LH>      Right, I will be finding out soon who will be the new mail feed.

 RB> Ah... Now you don't even know who it is ;)
    That's because 2 people have offered a feed.  I am fairly certain which
one will be the new feed, but it's not official yet.  Anyway, my hub won't
change, so that will be good for me.
 RB> That's somehow more complicated... But still it is easily done....

     TTYL
