The confusion is probably due to the fact that the backbone site `ohio-state' is actually two machines. One is the 3B2/400 called osu-cis, and the other is tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, a Pyramid 98x. A total of about 30 full-feed netnews neighbors, split roughly evenly between the two for UUCP on osu-cis and NNTP on Tut. For the purpose of map generation, the long/lat info on osu-cis should suffice. Our map entry doesn't show Tut explicitly, if I remember right; he would just be part of ohio-state.edu, hidden (for UUCP purposes) behind osu-cis as the university's gateway. --Karl
