One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives. If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- Sven Ramírez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Stanford University Computer Systems Lab. ------------------------------------------------------------ From aito@uni-hamburg.de Fri Apr 15 17:29:16 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!uni-hamburg!aito From: aito@uni-hamburg.de (Anja Ito) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Discussion: The 10 countries vs 14 nodes mystery - count again Message-ID: <1994Apr15.172916.9423@uni-hamburg.de> Date: Fri, 15 Apr 1994 17:29:16 GMT References: <1994Apr15.044016.6676@stanford.edu> Organization: Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: uni-hamburg.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1994Apr15.044016.6676@stanford.edu>, sramirez@stanford.edu (Sven Ramírez) writes: > Look closely at the Stardust relay table: there are 14 nodes, but only 10 countries listed. > One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.
