The strange thing about this is that we don't have any connections with any place at MIT! I check icsd for current connections and find there are only 4 and that all 4 are to other machines on our local network! Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the whole Internet seems to be terribly bogged down these days? Does anyone have an explanation? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Johnson netser@ics.uci.edu (Internet) UCI ICS Network Services ...!ucbvax!ucivax!netser (UUCP)
