One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives. When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate? -- Sven Suzuki | ssuzuki@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: 3105 C414 F9A3 79B4 "Keep the channels open."

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit! -- Kenji Moreno "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
