One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? 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? -- Joachim Larsson "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.' -- Valeria Santos Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------
