In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP. Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden. If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- Yuki Vasiliev Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
