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? -- === Aiko Dubois === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "Marcus is not one man."
