In the particular snapshot below it doesn't even show you defaulting
to UUNET; I don't know why you take objection! I included it as an example 
of what a default-route probe should look like :)

I never said that you were defaulting to UUNET in 4/96.

But since you raise the issue, 3 of our other (at the time, monthly) logs 
from '96 do show netrail defaulting into UUNET over MAE-East; maybe it was a 
simple config error, though.
