Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives. In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP. If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- === Lars Andersson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "We don't sign stars.
