McKay ) Subject: Bad addresses, moving fallout... To: sah Once again it's time to purge out the accumulated bad addresses on the suns-at-home mailing list. I try to get addresses that work as best I can, what's left behind are addresses that bounce no matter what I try. With the better mailer on orchestra I was able to get more useful messages regarding addresses on the mailing list which I can't reach for one reason or another. Here's the list of bogus addresses, if you are on this list or know someone on here, PLEASE have them contact me. I'll remove these names from the list next weekend if I've not heard anything... Address Why it can't be reached ------- ----------------------- djohnson@battelle.arpa Host unknown eggert@sm.unisys.com Host unknown The suns-at-home archive server has been up and down this week as the move was made. Please try again... I *think* I have it fixed now... Running a mailing list can be such fun... --Dwight D.

To: suns-at-home@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu I'm about to obtain two Sun SPARCstations, which I intend to connect via SLIP over a dialup line across a distance of five or ten miles. I'd like to hear opinions of the best modems for this purpose. I'm interested in peoples' experiences concerning speed, reliability, price, availability, etc. I've heard that PEP modems don't do so well because of the line turnaround time and I've heard that MNP compression has trouble with SLIP packets. Can anyone verify (or contradict)? Preferably email responses directly to me, and I'll post a summary. Thanks for your time. -- Doug Arnold, dna@emmy.umd.edu ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
