Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden. One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate? -- Nadine Fournier Tape trading list upon request.
