Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden. In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP. When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate? -- Bill Popov Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 33,600 bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.' -- === Hana Tanaka === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."
