Just as a data point, I just pinged and telneted to dialog.com. We
are connected via PREPNet.

And this is my biggest fear. We already have some very good disjoint
networks (Compuserve, Genie, Prodogy, BIX, etc.) I am afraid the way
things seem to be going, rather than finally providing ubiquitous world-
wide network, we are going to end out with even more squabling siblings
to the existing ones.
For another datapoint, I tried the following. Looks like it went beyond our
regional to NSFnet. Anybody at ANS or NSF want to try and explain why I get
no network unreachables or *any* message?!? Hmmm Since it hit the T3 net,
is it just bad configurations?
