Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives. 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? -- Anton Okonkwo Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 9600 Telebit bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit! -- === Diego Sánchez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg "Hold for relay."
